Incidentally, both Ssharad and his ex Divyanka Tripathi are now part of shows belonging to the same production hous
The final decision has been made. Ssharad Malhotra who won hearts as Maharana Pratap in his last outing on TV has bagged the lead role in Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming love story on Colors’ Kasam, as per an inside source. A number of actors were considered for this coveted role. Some of the famous names in the fray were Sidharth Shukla, Kunal Karan Kapoor, Aditya Redij, Mrunal Jain, Adesh Chaudhary, Nandish Sandhu and Karan Tacker. The buzz is that Ssharad won hands down in the look test due to his good looks and charm.
As fans will be aware, the actor played the role of Maharana Pratap in Sony’s Bharat Ka Veer Putra – Maharana Pratap sometime ago. The show went off air but his acting was highly appreciated. We guess it was this regal outing that helped as they wanted an actor who had the air of royalty around him. Kasam revolves around childhood love and is the story of the filthy rich Bedi family that returns from Canada to Punjab. Ssharad, who plays the heir, is an emotional person who faces tribulations in love. Right from the start, Ssharad has left an impact on audiences with his power-packed performances. The source says that he aced the look test with flair and the makers were bowled over with his projection.
Incidentally, this means that like his ex-girlfriend Divyanka Tripathi, who is a part of Balaji’s Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, Ssharad too is now an actor of the production house.
