Sanam Johar, who made a mark in the world of dance reality shows, took a new direction in his career by stepping into acting with Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. Though his appearance was short-lived, he managed to capture audience attention and earned commendation for his performance. Now eyeing intense and layered roles, he’s set his sights on playing complex anti-heroes in future projects.
Sanam Johar, well-known for his journey on Dance India Dance and appearances in popular reality shows like India’s Best Dancer and Nach Baliye, took on the role of Rituraj in the ongoing show Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. Though his role was brief, Sanam received a great response from his fans, who appreciated seeing him in a new avatar on screen.
However, Sanam Johar has now exited the show. When asked about the kind of roles he hopes to explore next, he shared some interesting ideas about his acting goals. In a recent conversation, Sanam said, “After playing Rituraj, I would like to try something different.
Maybe a lover boy, maybe an action hero, or even a rugged goon or gangster-type character. Something with a bit of a raw, anti-hero vibe. Like how Rituraj started off as an anti-hero before turning into more of a villain. I think playing a character like that would be both challenging and fun.”
Sanam Johar seems eager to take on roles that will allow him to showcase different aspects of his talent, particularly those that blend complexity with shades of grey. This signals his interest in moving beyond traditional ‘good guy’ roles and exploring layered characters in future projects.
In January 2025, Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin underwent a significant transformation with the introduction of its third-generation storyline, marking a fresh chapter for the show. This new phase brought in a youthful cast, including Vaibhavi Hankare, Param Singh, and Sanam Johar, who took on key roles to carry the story forward. The generational leap revitalised the show, introducing new dynamics and plot twists that offered audiences a renewed viewing experience.
However, changes continued. Actress Bhavika Sharma, a familiar face for fans of the show, returned to Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin shortly after the leap. She replaced Vaibhavi Hankare as the new female lead. This brought another twist to the evolving story.
As for Sanam Johar, although his time on Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin was short-lived, it has opened the door for more acting opportunities. Fans are now eagerly waiting to see what kind of character he will take on next.
