Dheeraj Dhoopar who has taken over from Shoaib Ibrahim as Prem in Colors’ Sasural Simar Ka (produced by Rashmi Sharma Telefilms) is a prankster in real life!! He usually indulges in playing pranks with his co-stars, and now that Dheeraj feels ‘at home’ on the sets of the Colors show, the prankster in him has come to the fore!! Says Dheeraj, “I love to play pranks on people. Since I recently joined the show, I was too busy getting into my character. But now that I have settled in, it is time to play pranks on my pals.” Talking about his co-stars, he tells us, “They are extremely good people to work with. I have known Jayati (Bhatia) for a long time, and it is good to have her around. I have also become friends with my brothers in the show, especially Manish (Raisinghania). Dipika (Samson) is a great co-star to work with. The ‘family’ feeling has crept in.” Aah, beware as the prankster Dheeraj is in action!!!
