In real life, it's Sahiba I mean Himanshi who is a beauty queen. Karan Mehra's ex-wife had accused her of having an affair with her husband in past. Though it was not proved, may have been a false accusation. She doesn't share any character resemblance with Sahiba. She studied Pharmacy (never completed), doesn't have any artistic inclination. She worked in Punjabi TV serials initially. Funny that being a beauty queen she is playing a character who is supposedly very ordinary in looks. Her character is going to be a victim of whatever she has been accused of in real life. Also, I don't see much of expression in her acting. I hope she does well in future, I have nothing against her. She is young and has so much to learn.
Meh. She was like 19/20 years old and there is no proof she had an affair, she was just co star and his wife suspected he had an affair as he used to cheat endlessly on her and Himanshi was his co star then. Himanshi got a lot of social media vitriol too.
Regardless if true, that would make her a victim likely, she was not old enough to even legally drink while this 40 year old with kids was sleeping with her. I am in early 20s and don't even look at teenagers, that would make Karan Mehra super creepy and borderline grooming behavior.
Television also needs to stop casting 40 year old men as leads opposite 18/20 year olds while 40 year old women as mothers.
Himanshi is definitely better than many other lead actresses on Star, maybe because she knows Punjabi and can deliver her dialogues well. She is young anyways, enough scope to improve plus tv is not a medium you really get to improve your skillset in, they are writing script overnight and shooting daily, no character graph, no shades, no proper story, so everyone is stuck in same rut.
