<em>Ghar Ek Sapnaa</em> will witness a second death in a matter of two months. First it was Cynthia (Lata Saberwal) and now Ansh (Ali Merchant) who gets killed in the show. Talking about the ensuing track, a source says, “Yes, it’s true that Ansh (Ali Merchant) will be killed. Ansh, who’s become a schizophrenic, will be killed by his brother Shlok (Mahesh Shetty).” When contacted, Ali Merchant said, “I’m sorry I’m not supposed to reveal about the track. You’ll have to watch the show to see how things unfold.”

Ali Merchant who is currently seen in Zee Next’s <em> Ek Thi Rajkumari </em> is on cloud nine these days. He has recently bought a new car a Diacor and is pretty excited about it. “Well I bought the car just last night. I wanted to have a nice and big car since very long and I finally have one,” says Ali.

Love is in the air for Ali Merchant who is currently seen in two different dailies (<em> Ek Thi Rajkumari </em> and <em> Amber Dhara</em>). The 23- year- old actor is happy these days and the reason is none other than Anisha Kapoor aka Kalyaani from <em>Dahhej.</em> Ali and Anisha are fond of each other but they are not in a relationship as yet. “I’m close to Anisha and love her company. Same is the case with her but there is no special relationship currently,” says Ali.

The Pataudi Palace (near Gurgaon), ancestral home of erstwhile cricketing legend Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi which is converted to a Neemrana Group Non-Hotel is now up for shooting. It is the first time that this palace had been given out for a shooting. <em> Ek Thi Rajkumari</em> on Zee Next is the only serial that is being shot in the royal home. “It was a wonderful experience to shoot in Pataudi’s Palace. Initially we shot there for seven days in October and then four to five days in November and December,” says Ali Merchant who is currently part of the show.

It's raining serials for Ali Merchant these days. After <em> Amber Dhara</em> now he'll be seen in up- coming <em> Ek Thi Rajkumari </em>to be aired on Zee Next. On Sony's primetime, he has replaced Harshad Chopra as Akshat. "I can't reveal much about this show but I'll be essaying the role of a lover boy. The show has a great storyline and I'm looking forward for it," says Ali
