The show starring Karan Wahi, Jennifer Winget, and Reem Shaikh, titled 'Raisinghani v/s Raisinghani,' made its debut on SonyLIV last week.

Encountering challenges in a male-dominated industry
When questioned about how she navigated through the challenges in a male-dominated industry, Reem recounted a specific incident, stating, “I've faced various struggles. On one set, a man told me, "Just be grateful I didn’t make your life miserable while you were working on that set." I have faced such comments directly.'”
While Reem Shaikh shared the incident, Jennifer Winget expressed shock and anger, suggesting that Reem should have slapped the man. However, the actress responded, saying, 'I've faced such situations several times, but I've always had strong support from a man, and that's my dad. Since my childhood, he has instilled strength in me, making me resilient. If any man tries to mess around with me, I have the courage to look him in the eye and stand up for myself.'
As for the series 'Raisinghani vs Raisinghani,' Reem portrays the character of Ankita, a journalist who joins a law firm with the sole intention of seeking revenge against her stepfather. Reflecting on her role, Reem shared, “I am quite different from my character. She is intelligent and driven by revenge.”
