Mumbai, June 7 (IANS) Actor Jatin Suri has joined the cast of social drama titled ‘Dahej Daasi’ and shared that the story will spotlight the issue of caste discrimination.

Talking about his character, Jatin, who was seen in ‘Saubhagyavati Bhava 2’, said, “I’m playing the role of Abeer and the story will be highlighting social issues like caste discrimination.”
