	Simran bhi kabhi bahu thi?

By Prashant Golecha

Dimple Inamdar is resurfacing in Sahara One's Prratima.

Dimple, who plays Simran, had disappeared from the serial earlier without leaving behind any clues about her whereabouts. Hired by the domineering matriarch Sunanda (Kirron Kher) to create problems in her son Amol's life, Simran had fallen in love with Amol (Anuj Saxena) but had fled, after feeling guilty about the whole affair.

The plot now thickens, with Simran returning to the story this week. She is found unconscious on the doorstep and is diagnosed with amnesia by the family doctor. But on waking up, Simran treats Amol as her own husband, and on the doctor's suggestion, the household cooperates in keeping up the fallacy, including Amol's wife, Prratima.

Prratima' life is rendered more complex with her mother-in-law Sunanda, Simran and Anjali Thakur (Nigar Khan) combining to trouble her.

The Beta like story is compounded by the fact that Sunanda is in reality, blackmailing Simran to keep Amol and Prratima apart.

In due course, Amol is scheduled to realise his mother's vicious intentions and will then turn tables. But that's much later. Stay tuned.
