Mumbai: Popular actress Sonam Lamba, recognized for her roles in notable shows including "Sasural Simar Ka 2," "Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya," "Balika Vadhu," and "Diya Aur Baati Hum," is set to take on the lead role in the upcoming show "Jahaan Chaand Rehta Hai," produced by actor Vijayendra Kumeria.

Sonam, enthusiastic about her new venture, shared her thoughts on her character, Kiran.

This series chronicles her journey, her triumph over obstacles, and her path to becoming an astronaut. Unlike my previous roles as the obedient daughter or daughter-in-law, I am thrilled to portray the character of an ambitious young woman. I have always yearned to be part of a project that carries a significant social message. Our aim is to challenge the prevailing perceptions in regions where opportunities for girls are limited. I am hopeful that our show can spark change."
