Neha Sargam plays 'Alia Bhatt of Highway' for Yeh Hai Aashiqui; Mayank Gandhi, Kunal Thakkur roped in

The gorgeous Neha Sargam of Chand Chupa Badal Mein fame will soon be seen in Disney Bindass’ popular show on unusual love stories, Yeh Hai Aashiqui. The series is being co produced by Vikas Gupta’s Lost Boy Productions and BBC Worldwide Productions. Vikas, who recently shot for a love story on the lines of the famous popular novel of Rabindranath Tagore on Charulata will now present the audience the interesting story based on Imtiaz Ali’s romance-drama upcoming film, Highway. If sources are to be believed Neha will be seen essaying the character that Alia Bhatt plays in the movie. Giving her company in this episodic will be Mayank Gandhi and Kunal Thakkur, Ankit Patidar. Mayank who has earlier been part of shows like Bollywood Ka Ticket, Kasamh Se, Doli Saja Ke, Ek Doosre Se Karte Hai Pyaar Hum will play the guy who is madly in love with the girl, and goes to the extent of kidnapping her. Kunal Thakkur of Bandini fame will play the ACP who is the girl’s boy friend. We hear that though the story is based on the upcoming movie Highway, it will have its own twists and turns and will be an edge-of-the-seat experience for viewers. When contacted, Neha confirmed the news to Tellychakkar.com saying, “Yes, I am presently shooting for Yeh Hai Aashiqui. The story is based on Highway, and I play the girl who gets kidnapped. It is the story of this girl and the manner in which she deals with situations after getting kidnapped and how she overcomes it.” Kunal Thakkur told us, “Yes, I am shooting for Yeh Hai Aashiqui. It is an interesting role, that of an ACP. And it is fun to play the cop’s roles and it is the first time that I am taking up such a character.” We tried contacting Mayank, but he remained unavailable. We tried to get in touch with Producer Vikas Gupta, but he remained out of reach. Get ready for this action-packed love story.
