Star Plus show Imlie is one of the most loved and successful show on television right now. The show is doing well on the TRP charts since it has hit the screens. Imlie stars Sumbul Touqeer Khan, Mayuri Deshmukh, Fahmaan Khan and Manasvi Vashist in pivotal role. Fahmaan entered the show as parallel lead and slowly his character turned into main lead of the show after Gashmeer Mahajani, who played Aditya Kumar Tripathi, quit the show.
Fahmaan’s character Aryan Singh Rathore has been receiving immense love ever since it appeared onscreen. The audience is loving the chemistry between Sumbul and Fahmaan Aka Imlie & Aryan in the show and fondly calls the duo #AryLie.
From playing parallel lead to becoming main lead, Fahmaan Khan says he didn’t know that such a thing was going to happen with him on the show ‘Imlie’. In an interaction with ETimes TV, the actor said, “No, I didn’t know anything with surety. Firstly, I was skeptical initially to take up this offer as before taking up Imlie I had played a lead in a show and here I was entering a show mid-way as a prominent character but then not as lead. Then I spoke to the creative team and I genuinely liked the character and how it was written.”

He added, “I didn’t know that Gashmeer (Mahajani) was planning to quit at the time but I knew that my character is going to get prominent day by day. After I shot for the mock shoot and I had a word with the creative team, I loved my character so much that I didn’t really care what is going to happen later on in the show. I was always told that ‘aap bhi ho show ke lead’.”
Fahmaan further said, “Gashmeer is a great actor and the reason for which he has quit Imlie is best known to him. But I had a great time working with him. The complete credit for the smooth transition of Gashmeer leaving the show and my character taking centre stage goes to the makers. With people complimenting me for my role and with the ratings of the show not dropping after Gashmeer’s exit, I thank god for all that. Thankfully there hasn’t been much trolling for me on social media too. I have come across a few quarrels among fans but nothing against me. I am happy that the fans have accepted me with open arms as the lead of the show.”
When Fahmaan was asked about if he is okay aging on screen and having kids and also doing an infinite series. He replied, “I take each day as it comes. I have nothing against or for finite and infinite shows. I wouldn’t mind being a part of a show for several years if it is doing well and the story is moving somewhere. However, for now, I don’t think I will be okay with having kids on screen.”
