Almost two years after a successful run, the makers of Sasural Simar Ka 2 have changed the plot, and are currently moving into the supernatural space. Karan Sharma, who became a household name after shows including Ek Nayi Pehchaan and Pavitra Rishta, believes it is a natural progression. `Generally, saas-bahu dramas will not add supernatural elements unless the [original] story is over, or they wish to experiment. Audiences are enjoying the genre, [as seen with] Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Bhediya, and Kantara. We believe the audience will enjoy the mix of drama and fantasy [on television also] as long as it is justified,” says the actor, who was originally set to be part of the first season, but things didn’t materialise.
When Sharma received the `last-minute` call to join the cast of Sasural Simar Ka 2, the actor was thrilled. He believed that the universe wanted him to be part of the show. `I had just wrapped up a short film in Dehradun, where I was playing an army officer. Within an hour of the mock test, I was confirmed,` he says, adding that he was surprised to be roped in to play the younger brother, Vivaan Oswal. `When I got this role, I had [asked the makers] if they were sure about casting me as the younger brother. They needed an actor who looked 24, and I somehow fit the bill at 34. In our industry, the requirement has always been to look young, and that works in my favour.`
