New Entry in 'Tu Hi Re Dil Mein'

Zee TV's serial 'Tu Hi Re Dil Mein' has brought in actor Anuraj Chahal as Sanjog, a character who shares a close friendship with Sanjay, played by Abrar Qazi, as reported by Bollywood Hungama and The Times of India. Chahal's entry arrives as the show moves into a new phase following the marriage of Vrinda, played by Priyanshi Yadav, and Sanjay.

The Character and the Actor's Take

Chahal, describing his experience, said, "Entering Tu Hi Re Dil Mein as Sanjog has been a wonderful experience so far." He added that Sanjog is Sanjay's good friend and, while he is a positive character, "there are many layers to him that will unfold as the story progresses." The actor said his character's entry will bring "several twists and turns," and his presence will bring "significant changes to Sanjay, Vrinda and Swati’s lives." He also teased, "We will also get to see some interesting and unexpected connections between Sanjog and the three leads, which I believe will make his journey one of the most interesting sequences on the show."

The Times of India quoted Chahal hinting that Sanjog will be one of the most interesting characters in the show.

Ongoing Storyline

The show recently moved into a new phase after Vrinda and Sanjay's marriage, according to both outlets. Since the wedding, Vrinda and Swati, portrayed by Simran Rawal, have grown increasingly close, developing a relationship resembling that of sisters, as described by Bollywood Hungama. However, Vrinda is yet to meet Swati's fiancé and does not know that the man she has married, Sanjay, is also the person Swati loves and is expected to marry, as reported by both Bollywood Hungama and The Times of India.

Chahal's Excitement

Chahal said he is "very excited to play this role and explore the different shades of me as an actor." He praised his co-stars, saying, "Working with Abrar Qazi, Priyanshi Yadav and Simran Rawal has been amazing, as they are all wonderful actors." He added, "I truly hope the audience enjoys watching Sanjog as much as I have enjoyed playing him and welcomes both me and my character into the show."

The show airs every day at 7 PM on Zee TV, as per Bollywood Hungama.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
