Chandni Bhagwanani to replace Rashmi Singh in Star Plus’ Sanjivani 2

News of actress Rashmi Singh putting her papers down and leaving Star Plus’ Sanjivani 2 surprised every avid watcher of the show. Her character had built its own fan following over the months and her sudden exit from the series came as a surprise for everyone.

Though there is no update on what led Rashmi Singh to walk out of the hit medical drama all of a sudden, it has been confirmed that actress Chandni Bhagwanani has been roped in as her replacement. Chandni Bhagwanani, who was last seen in Rashmi Sharma Telefilms’ Roop – Mard Ka Naya Swaroop, is nervous about facing the camera after a long break.


The actress says that it is difficult to replace someone whose portrayal of a certain character has already been loved by the audience. However, she adds that she loves challenges and will approach the character as a new one and not treat it as a mere replacement.

Also starring talented actors Mohnish Bahl, Gurdeep Kohli, Surbhi Chandna, and Nimit Khanna in lead roles, Sanjivani 2 is the second season of Star Plus’ Sanjivani which aired between 2002 to 2005. The latest season hit the tube on 12th August, 2019. Thanks to its electric cast and gripping storytelling, the show has been received very well by the audience. It is one of the top-rated shows on Star Plus.

Talking about the current track of Sanjivani 2, it focuses on the love story of Dr. Sid (Namit Khanna) and Dr. Ishani (Surbhi Chandna). Love blossomed between the two after Sid saved Ishani's life. However, there are still a lot of twists and turns in store for the audience. So, let’s wait and watch to see what happens next.

Highlights

Laura Dern steps into one of television’s biggest dramas

Just days after Helena Bonham Carter made an abrupt exit from The White Lotus, HBO has moved quickly by bringing in a familiar face for creator Mike White. Laura Dern has officially joined the fourth season of the Emmy-winning series, which is already filming in southern France. While Bonham Carter’s departure sparked curiosity about what happened behind the scenes, Dern’s arrival shifts the focus back to the show itself and adds another major name to one of television’s most closely watched franchises.

Why Laura Dern feels like more than a replacement

Dern’s casting stands out because this is not her first collaboration with White. The pair first worked together on Year of the Dog before reuniting for HBO’s Enlightened, which they co-created and which earned Dern a Golden Globe. That history makes her casting feel less like a quick fix following Bonham Carter’s departure and more like White turning to a long-time creative partner he trusts. Dern also brings considerable star power, having won an Academy Award for Marriage Story and starred in projects such as Jurassic Park, Wild and Big Little Lies.
