The Sony TV’s horror drama ‘Aami Dakini’ has already stirred excitement with its fresh lead pair — Hitesh Bhardwaj and Rachi Sharma. As the show gears up for its June 23 premiere, the big question on everyone’s mind is: Will this new jodi create the same magic as their previous on-screen pairings?
Hitesh Bhardwaj previously starred in Ghum Hai Kisi Key Pyaar Meiin, where his chemistry with Bhavika Sharma gained massive popularity. Their pairing earned a loyal fan base and trended frequently on social media. Now, with Hitesh cast opposite Rachi in a completely different genre — horror — the expectations are naturally high. The pressure to match or even surpass his previous success is undeniable.
On the other hand, Rachi Sharma, who became a household name with her role in Kumkum Bhagya’s third generation, shared a much-loved screen bond with Abrar Qazi. Their pairing was a fan favorite and contributed significantly to the show’s TRP run. Now stepping into the eerie and suspenseful world of Ami Dakini, Rachi is set to explore a genre she hasn’t tackled before, alongside a new co-star.
Will Hitesh and Rachi be able to break their past records and establish a new hit pairing? That’s the big test.
Additionally, Ami Dakini belongs to the horror genre, which has a niche audience in the TRP market. While Sony TV previously found success with Aahat, horror shows rarely dominate prime-time ratings. Whether the unique storyline, eerie setting, and star cast will pull in mass audiences remains to be seen.
The chemistry, the horror, and the TRP game begin. Time will only tell if AyRa becomes television’s next superhit jodi.
