MUMBAI: Actress Manasi Salvi will play actor Zebby Singh’s on-screen mother in upcoming romantic comedy Papa By Chance on Star Bharat. The television show will be produced by Sonali Jaffar’s Full House Media.

Manasi started her TV career with Zee TV’s Aashirwaad, after which she starred in Ekta Kapoor’s Kohi Apna Sa and many other shows.

Her character of Sucharita Chopra in Papa By Chance is that of an elite businesswoman from Delhi who juggles her life between her son and marriage.

‘Sucharita is tailor-made for me. In fact, I didn’t have to go through a screen test for this role because the makers of the show believed I was the perfect choice for the role,’ Manasi said in a statement.
