Mumbai: TV Actor Ankit Gera, best known for his roles in shows like "Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya", "Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke" and "Santoshi Maa", has been roped in to play a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) in the upcoming TV show "Agnifera".


"Agnifera" will tell the story of two starkly opposite female protagonists -- a lawmaker and a lawbreaker. And Ankit will be seen as Anurag.

"The concept of ‘Agnifera' is quite unusual from what we have seen on television so far. Also the fact that I will have two women vying for my attention. That's why I agreed to do the show," Ankit said in a statement.

"I play the role of Anurag, who is an MBA, from London. Having studied abroad, he is very sophisticated and smart. He is extremely pampered by his family and is also very impulsive with his decisions. He is stubborn by nature and used to having his own way in most situations," he added.

Ankit was seen in Bigg Boss 9 but got evicted in the first week. He is also known for his role of 'Mayank' in Zee TV show 'Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke'.

He played the role of brother in Star Plus show 'Mann Ki Awaz..Pratigya'.

The show will be aired on &TV starting from March 20.
