Aarti Bahl joins husband Mohnish Bahl on the cast of Sanjivani

Star Plus’ much-talked-about show Sanjivani, which hit the small screen a couple of weeks ago, has received overwhelming response from the audience. To keep the audience hooked to the show further, the makers are now going to introduce a new character.

Yes, the medical drama is set to witness a new entry in the form of actress Aarti Bahl. For the unversed, Aarti is the wife of seasoned actor Mohnish Bahl who plays Dr Shashank on the show. She will join her husband on Sanjivani soon.


Aarti Bahl started her acting career in films and was earlier known as Ekta Sohini. She has done a number of notable films in her career including Awwal Number (1990), Saajan (1991), Tahalka (1992), and Vaastav (1999). The actress is making a comeback to acting after a long gap of 12 years. She will play a mother to Namit Khanna’s character, Dr Siddhant Mathur.

"Producer Siddharth Malhotra is a good friend and I worked with him earlier too. Both Siddharth and his wife Sapna had been wanting to work with me, but I did not know it would happen so soon. Since my husband was also a part of the show, I thought it would be great," Aarti told an Indian daily.

Talking about teaming up with husband Mohnish again, she says, "He is a great actor and he has played his roles so well that you can't imagine anyone else playing that role, whether it is a doctor, elder brother or a villain. For both of us, the script and the director has always been the most important and in Sanjivani too, I felt that playing Dr Sid's (Namit Khanna) mother would be an interesting role. My daughter Pranutan has debuted this year in films, my husband is already doing a TV show and now with me joining him, we will again be and all- working family," she concluded.

'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' sequel on Netflix: David Fincher helms film written by Quentin Tarantino starring Brad Pitt

David Fincher is set to direct a sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, with Quentin Tarantino penning the script for the follow-up to his Academy Award-winning film. The project, confirmed by Variety, does not yet have an official title but is being developed at Netflix, where Fincher holds a first-look deal. Brad Pitt will reprise his role as Cliff Booth, the stuntman with a dark past.

The film marks a particularly unique collaboration, not only due to one renowned filmmaker directing a sequel to another’s work but also because of its transition from theatrical release to a streaming platform. The original Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was released in 2019 by Sony Pictures, but Tarantino had negotiated a deal that would grant him ownership of the film’s underlying rights after a set period. The fact that this sequel is being developed under Fincher’s Netflix agreement suggests that Tarantino may already hold the sequel rights privately.
