Press Release
Meera Simhan (The Flash) is set as a lead opposite Reema Sampat and Chris Sullivan in The Son in Law, ABC’s single-camera comedy pilot from 20th Television.
Simhan will play Khushi Mehta, Asha’s (Sampat) mother, a high-strung, self-involved philanthropist who hails from extreme wealth and whose husband, Om, is the current conductor of the New York Philharmonic. Khushi is an attractive charmer who knows absolutely every bigwig who counts on the Manhattan social scale and who frequently hosts lavish soirees at her 18,000-square-foot 5th Avenue penthouse. Even though her own parents initially disapproved of Om as being not of her class, Khushi doesn’t apply her own past history to her daughter. She thoroughly disapproves of Jake (Sullivan), who is older than Asha and a plumber. To say that Khushi is controlling would be a bit of an understatement. So when she learns that Asha and Jake are planning to get married, she doesn’t bother to hide her feelings. She might be acting out of love for Asha, but her high-handed ways can grate on Jake’s last nerves, to say the least.
