Star Plus is currently making headlines since it released a surprising AI-generated promo of its upcoming show, Sairaab. As the promo is AI-generated, the faces of the lead actors are hidden. Fans became excited to learn about who would join the Sairaab cast. Despite not announcing the leads, the channel revealed its release date and telecast timing. 

Although the channel hasn’t officially revealed the cast, reports have clearly revealed the leading face of the show. As previously reported, Siya Ke Ram fame Madirakshi Mundle will be the female lead. The recent reports now claim that Pandya Store fame Rohit Chandel will be the male lead in this musical drama. 

What Does The Sairaab Promo Reveal?

Although the promo hasn’t revealed the leading face, it has revealed the overall concept of the upcoming show. 

The promo hints at a musical drama in which a man is madly in love with a woman and believes love doesn’t have any limit, especially age difference. A woman, in contrast, believes that it is not good for society. 

The promo clearly hints that the show will mainly focus on a love story based on age difference, where a woman will be older than a man.

Love Story Of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas

This show also got attention recently as several reports emerged claiming Star Plus’s Sairaab would be based on the real-life story of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. 

This happens because there are many similarities between the promo and their real-life story. Both stories are focused on the global pop star sensation who falls in love with a sensitive and older woman. But there is no confirmation about it at the time of writing. 

These claims have further boosted the excitement for the show as it is being produced by Magic Moments Motion Pictures. 

The Fresh Pairing Sparked Buzz

Besides the storyline, Star Plus new show 2026 is also creating buzz for the Sairaab cast. Although fans initially guessed Jennifer Winget and Harshad Chopda as the lead based on the lead’s look of the promo, the fresh reports hint at opposites. 

Popular actors Rohit Chandel and Madirakshi Mundle are set to lead this musical drama. Both enjoy an immense following by working on popular TV shows. 

Madirakshi Mundle has gained initial fame through working in mythological drama, Siya Ke Ram.
