Anushka Merchande to play the feisty Koel in Sony Entertainment Television’s Pukaar - Dil Se Dil Tak

Starting 27th May at 8:30 pm, get ready for a compelling tale of love, loss, and redemption with Sony Entertainment Television’s riveting drama, ‘Pukaar – Dil Se Dil Tak’. Set against the backdrop of Jaipur, the show follows the journey of a mother and her two daughters, who are tragically separated by a wicked scheme. As fate would have it, the paths of Saraswati, Vedika, and Koel will unknowingly converge once again under unexpected circumstances and together, they must confront the forces who tore their family apart. 
 
The talented Anushka Merchande has been roped in to play the feisty Koel, who is an ambitious, daring, and Jugaadu girl. Separated from her birth mother and sister during a tragic accident, Koel has no clue about her past and she is brought up by Mayuri, a con woman. 
 
Actor Anushka Merchande expresses her excitement about playing this role saying, “Broken by a sinister enemy, this story echoes a family’s heartfelt ‘pukaar’ to reunite and find each other despite the circumstances. My character, Koel, is very different from the roles I have previously done; viewers have always seen me in the happy-girl-next-door image but with Koel’s character, they will see me as bold, feisty, and strongheaded. It’s going to be a big challenge, but I am looking forward to playing the role of a con woman. I have taken inspiration from a couple of movies and web series to learn a few nuances of con jobs. Even my look in the show is quite vibrant, and since the show is based out of Jaipur, viewers will see me in a lot of fusion wear like Rajasthani design printed jackets with frills and Indian accessories. Koel is very unlike me as I am an introvert, but Koel is full of life and very jugaadu. I hope the audiences enjoy watching me in this new avatar.” 
 
'Pukaar - Dil Se Dil Tak' will premiere on 27th May at 8:30 pm every Monday to Friday only on Sony Entertainment Television!
