Sony SAB’s ‘Vanshaj’ is a show that portrays the battle of inheritance between Yuvika (Anjali Tatrari) and DJ (Mahir Pandhi as they vie to control of the Mahajan empire. Along with his mother Gargi (Parinitha Seth), DJ now plots to isolate Yuvika and strip her of any support. And to do so he introduces her lookalike, Chinki Kaur (Anjali Tatrari) to take over the Mahajan empire entirely.
Anjali Tatrari, known for her bold and sassy role as Yukti, now transforms herself to also play Chinki, a character completely different from her previous one. Chinki comes from the harsh realities of poverty in Punjab. Discovered by Srishti Verma (Utkarsha Naik), Koel’s mother, Chinki is carefully transformed to look like Yuvika. Her arrival is marked by her Punjabi cursing, recklessness, and wild, unrefined dancing. Chinki’s entrance throws Yuvika’s life into chaos as she claims to be the real Yuvika. This cunning move by DJ aims to outsmart Yuvika, beating her at her own game.
Anjali Tatrari, who will be essaying the character of Chinki Kaur said, “After playing Yuvika and now Yukti for so long, I am excited to step into a completely different avatar with Chinki. Being a Punjabi myself, I love the opportunity to play a Punjabi girl. I feel lucky to portray such a diverse role in one show itself. Shedding my boss lady avatar to turn into a loudmouth and uncouth Chinki was fun but also challenging. Despite her rough exterior, Chinki is smart and cunning, with survival instincts sharpened by years of hardship. She is going to be a key player in DJ’s plotting against Yuvika and her entry will create a lot of ruckus. She will introduce countless twists and turns, while DJ’s cunning strategies reach new heights, and it will be fascinating to watch how Yuvika handles these challenges.”
