Star Plus’ Ishqbaaaz gets Supriya Pilgaonkar onboard

Star Plus’ popular show Ishqbaaaz, which recently witnessed a generation leap in its narrative, has added an immensely talented actor to its cast. We are talking about veteran actress Supriya Pilgaonkar who has come onboard to play a police commissioner on the hit show.

Pilgaonkar, whose credits include Tu Tu Main Main, Sasural Genda Phool and Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi, among others, is thrilled to have joined the cast of one of the longest-running soaps on the popular network.


"I am very excited to be part of a long-running show like Ishqbaaaz because I get to play a character that I have never played before, that of a police commissioner. I have always loved women in armed forces and the sense of power they exude," the talented actress said in a statement.

Talking more about her role in Ishqbaaaz, she said, "On the show, my character gets to show her human side along with her strong and independent demeanour. As opposed to my previous roles on screen, I will be seen in a completely different light on Ishqbaaaz which was instrumental for me to give a nod to the role in flat half an hour. I hope viewers love my unique avatar on screen and enjoy watching my performance.”

Produced by Gul Khan, Ishqbaaaz stars Nakuul Mehta and Manjiri Pupala in its lead cast. The series, which premiered on 27th June, 2016, has been one of the top-rated shows on Star Plus ever since its launch.

Highlights:

  • Second year in a row for the British Indian model on the VS runway.
  • Only Indian face in the line-up.
  • She wore a blush pink set with a sheer skirt.
  • The show itself featured a pregnant model, athletes, and the overall diversity push.
  • It happened in New York, with performances, the usual big production.

So Victoria's Secret dragged its wings out of storage for another show. And in the middle of that whole glittery circus, one face felt particularly significant. Neelam Gill was back again for the second time. In a sea of models, she is the sole Indian representative. That’s a pretty stark fact when you consider it. The show took place in New York, with all the expected glitz, but Gill's presence is what truly resonates.
