The first gangster comedy show on Indian television – Gunwale Dulhaniyan Le Jaayenge – is all set to be launched on SAB TV. Starting from Monday, March 16, it will be aired at 9.30 PM everyday from Monday to Thursday. The show tells the story of a family where everyone is a gangster! Vijay Kashyap, Sushmita Mukherjee, Sudhir Pandey and Himani Shivpuri star in this show being produced by Tangerine Films.

Newcomer Shruti Vyas is playing the role of Lovely, the daughter of a bank manager. She falls in love with Tiger, a gangster. “Eventually they get married and the story revolves around their love story and how it goes through various ups and downs,” says a visibly excited Shruti. Though this is Shruti’s second show and we have seen her earlier in Simply Sapney, this is the first time she is playing such a major role.

“Lovely has a mild speech problem. Instead of ‘s’, she says ‘f’ and that leads to hilarious situations! Though it was a difficult job, working in this serial is a great learning experience for me. I am working with all stalwarts of the industry,” says the pretty actress.

“Though this is my first major show, I am not new to the industry. My father B. M. Vyas, a former National School of Drama pass-out, has written the script for shows like Discovery of India, Tara, Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki and is a known face in the industry. Interestingly, all the actors I am working with in this show have worked with my father at some point in time. Every now and then they would start chatting up with me on the sets and remember how they had seen me as a kid and recollect all the incidents that happened then,” says the young actress who has worked with Nadira Babbar in a number of plays.

Shruti had earlier worked on a tele-film titled Sharp Challenge for the UK-based Channel 4 and is banking on Gunwale.. to get a foothold in the Indian television industry.
