Ismeet Kohli to make her TV debut with the show featuring Sushmita Mukherjee and Rajendra Gupta

We had reported about Rajita Sharma’s new show, a mature love story, which will feature Sushmita Mukherjee and Rajendra Gupta as the lead couple. We have now learnt that the maker has signed Ismeet Kohli for a pivotal part in the family drama. Ismeet, who has done a few theatre workshops, commercials and a couple of web series. The show will mark Ismeet’s debut on TV.

While she refused to divulge much about the show, she said, “All I can say is that it is a progressive and interesting story. At this stage, there is a lot for me to learn as an actor. I have not had any formal training and I will learn a great deal while working with Sushmita Mukherjee ma’am and Rajendra Gupta sir.”



Ismeet is best known for featuring in an ad alongside the former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. She quit her job as a management consultant in March 2021 and decided to join showbiz. Talking about her journey, she said, “I got into acting about a year ago. I had a corporate job and was working as a management consultant. However, I felt stagnated and joined a theatre workshop to distract myself. In fact, I changed four jobs before switching to acting. It was followed by a few more workshops and I fell in love with what I was doing. Soon, I started auditioning for ads and bagged a few. One thing led to the other and I shot for a few web series as well.”

Ask her how TV featured in her plan and she replied, “As an actor, I would want to explore all mediums. I didn’t get into acting thinking about the medium I would like to explore. I understand that TV is a long commitment, but at the same time, it helps you in understanding the technical aspects better.”

And how encouraging is her husband, comedian Gursimran Khamba, about her new stint considering that the small screen is often accused of being regressive? “He has been encouraging and supportive. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have been very confident about the acting space, to begin with. Also, as I mentioned earlier, the story of the show isn’t regressive. Work is work and the medium doesn’t matter. There are people who look down upon comedy as well… they feel that comedians just abuse and do nothing else. You can’t decide your career choices basis on what and how people think,” she signed off.
