Ashiesh Roy in Sasural Simar Ka

Ashiesh Roy, last seen in Mrs & Mr Sharma Allahabadwale will be part of Sunrise Productions’ Sasural Simar Ka on Colors. A source says, “The casting for the boy’s family has already started and Ashiesh has been finalised to play the boy’s uncle, who is always cheerful and smiling. He idolises his elder brother and mother and believes they can do no wrong. He’s an expert astrologer too, and people come from afar to show him their kundalis. His wife doesn’t approve of his happy-go-lucky ways, but he adores her anyway.” Another source says, “Their family had started as small-time sweet makers and their mother had started it all and now they are known nationally. The eldest son of the family who is also the boy’s father handles the sweet business as he is well educated. Ashish plays the second brother. Simar will get married into this family. The shooting starts from tomorrow as it goes on air on April 18.” Roy confirmed his participation and said, “Well, when producer Rashmi Sharma approached me for this show, I was excited for two reasons one, because my mother is a huge fan of their show Saathiya. And two, this new show is being telecast on Colors, known for its path breaking content. So, once the dates worked out, I didn’t hesitate before saying ‘yes’.” He is also doing Sunrise Productions’ Mr and Mrs Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuain. Dipika Samson, Avika Gor, Himani Shivpuri, Pankaj Dheer and Jaya Ojha will be part of the girl’s family.
