Pragati Mehra and Sushmita Daan in Choti Bahu

Pragati Mehra (last seen in Uttaran) and Sushmita Daan of Saans fame will now be seen in Zee’s Choti Bahu. While Pragati essays the negative lead, Sushmita will be seen in a positive role. A source reveals, “Pragati Mehra and Sushmita Daan play important characters in the show. Pragati plays Maheshwari, the badi bahu of the family. It’s a negative character and she is the badi tai of Avinash. Meanwhile, Sushmita plays her devrani. The story will be completely new and fresh and has no connection to the earlier one except that we have retained Avinash and Rubina as leads. “The story begins with the childhood of the leads and later on moves towards their love story. Gopi Desai who was seen in the first season playing a negative role will be seen in a completely positive character this time around.” Pragati says, “Yes, I will be seen in a completely different role and new look in Choti Bahu.” About Uttaran she says, “I was on a 15-day holiday to the US and my track was changed accordingly. Now am back and hopefully will start shooting for Uttaran in two weeks.” Sushmita was too busy to answer our calls. The show airs from February 15 at 7.30pm.
