Mera Sasural changes track

Sahara One’s Mera Sasural is barely a few weeks old and there’s already a small twist in the tale. Darshan Dave, who plays Omi Khajuria, finds himself cornered earlier than expected. A source says, “As per the original script, Omi, an army officer, is to get married to Heer (Urmila Kanetkar). The couple was also supposed to have their honeymoon but all that has now gone for a toss as Omi is forced to leave his marriage mid-way due to an emergency. Few days later, the family learns that the three army officers are missing. Khajuria’s worst fears come true when an army officer comes with Omi's belongings saying that Omi couldn't be traced.” So, does it mean that his character has been marginalised? Writer and producer Anjana Sood disagrees, “No, Darshan is very much part of the show. In fact, there’s no alteration to the track. At the moment, we’ve only postponed his role.” However, Darshan had a different tale to tell. The actor says, “My character hasn’t been marginalised but there definitely is a twist to it. Earlier, I was to be shown getting married to Heer but that hasn’t happened. Such changes are part of a daily soap. Perhaps, it might have occurred taking into account the show’s initial response.” But will he continue to be part of the show? Darshan replies, “Yes, I’m very much part of the show. In fact, I’m shooting continuously for it. You will not be seeing me in a few episodes but Omi will definitely return. After all, he’s the lead actor, thus there’s no sense in killing him.”
