Rati will find Sumer extremely difficult to deal with. A man of few words, Abhinav’s tough-as-nails cop character will be shown hiding a mysterious and painful past. Is he jilted in love, has he suffered the loss of a loved one? Only time will tell.But one thing is certain … When this macho Haryanvi cop crosses paths with our “Lady Hitler”, sparks are bound to fly. In searching for hubby Rishi, will Indira lose track of her ultimate goal and develop inappropriate feelings for Sumer?
Confirming his entry in the show, Abhinav said, “Yes, I have taken on the role of Sumer Chaudhry in Hitler Didi opposite Rati Pandey. I had been following the show even before being approached for it and always thought that it is one of the most real depictions of the contemporary middle-class Delhi existence. I have great regards for Rati as an actor and think of it as my good fortune to be sharing screen space with her. I thank the team of Zee TV for considering me for such a plum role and that too of a tough cop, it’s a dream come true!”
