Saumya, who plays one of the bhabijis in Sanjay and Beniferr Kohli's Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai on &TV will continue to play the role in the show. There has been speculation that the small screen may soon see a new ‘gori mem’ as Saumya is referred to on the show.
But the producers have gone on record to say there is no new actor stepping in. Refuting all rumours of a replacement, producer Binaiferr Kohli said, “Saumya has been very professional and we have a bank of episodes ready. Before going on a (maternity) break, she made great effort and shot extensively. In fact, we shot close to her house to make her comfortable. So, there is no question of a replacement. It’s not like once you get pregnant, you become redundant. She is a pleasure to work with and I want her back.”
The actress prefers to keep her personal life private. Married to banker Saurabh Devendra Singh, Saumya who is in her third trimester has been posting her pregnancy updates regularly on Instagram but hasn't revealed her due date.
Producer Binaifer added further, “If post delivery, she feels that she cannot manage and wants to opt out, that’s a different thing. But I will wait till the time she has asked me to. I don’t want to make her uncomfortable in any way, this is the biggest moment in her life and I am very happy for her. She is also a dear friend and I love her and await the good news to celebrate.”
