In a unique case of generation leap, Ssharad Malhotra has knocked years off his age overnight. The actor, who plays the 50-year-old Rishi Singh Bedi in Ekta Kapoor's Kasam Tere Pyar Ki, will now be seen as a 25-year-old in the romance drama that also features Kratika Sengar.

"The previous generation leap had me grow old. I am back to playing a youngster. Now, I essay the role of a football champ, Ranbir Kapoor, from Canada. My previous character, Rishi Singh Bedi, 50, had donated sperm. Ranbir is the offspring," says Ssharad Malhotra, adding that the recent development will see new faces being added to the show.
