Their fans were eagerly awaiting the premiere of Meenu Mausi on Star Plus, however, it sadly got shelved after the pilot shoot. Yes, you read that right!

WHY HARSHAD CHOPDA & SANANYA IRANI'S MEENU MAUSI GOT SHELVED?

According to reports back then, the show's production was facing significant delays, leaving the channel growing increasingly impatient. Despite the team having shot the pilot, the channel expressed dissatisfaction with the chosen cast, leading the makers to ultimately drop the idea of making Meenu Mausi.

Apart from Sanaya and Harshad, the show was also supposed to feature Hiten Tejwani and Chhavi Mittal as part of the cast. Their characters would be a couple with three children. Following a tragic turn of events, Sanaya's character would step into the role of Massi (maternal aunt) for the children. Sparsh Khanchandani, Avneet Kaur, and Uzair Basar were roped in to play the kids.

While Harshad went on to play the lead roles in shows like Bepannaah and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Sananya has been away from fiction space since Rangrasiya (2014) and was seen in non-fiction shows like Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8 and Nach Baliye 8.
