MUMBAI: Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand seems to
be going the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi way.
Ashlesha Savant
Tonight's Des Mein... episode will have Ashlesha Savant, currently
portraying Mouli in Star Plus'Kahiin To Hoga, making her appearance
as Dev's (Amarr Upadhyay) wife. For those who came in late Upadhyay
is currently suffering a bout of amnesia after an accident. To complicate
matters, Dev has gotten himself a new face thanks to plastic surgery
after said accident. Needless to say, Upadhyay replaced Varun Badola
when the face change occurred.
As for Savant, she was bumped off Kyunki... a few months ago.
As Teesha, Savant had a fatal accident when Mandira Bedi's car clashed
with hers. Now roped into Des Mein, Savant claims to have been
married to Upadhyay when the latter suffered a loss of memory after
his accident.
Both Savant and Upadhyay are Balaji actors who have made their way
into Aroona Irani's production. Is Irani going the Ekta way, with
characters losing their fidelity along with their memories after having
accidents? The Kyunki story had followed a similar track when
Mihir of Kyunki had an accident, lost his memory and then got
into a marital relationship with Mandira, when the first wife was
still alive and kicking.
