Things have been getting interesting on Chicago Med ever since Dr. Sabeena Virani joined the team. Who is the actor who plays this role? Here’s what Showbiz Cheat Sheet knows.
Dr. Sabeena Virani on ‘Chicago Med’
Sabeena Virani was first introduced during Chicago Med Season 6, Episode 1 (titled “When Did We Begin to Change”). Sabeena and Will are overseeing a clinical drug trial for the hospital. The drug is supposed to help cardiac patients by strengthening their heart and extending their lives. There have been quite a few flirty moments between Sabeena and Will.
Will finally got the courage to ask Sabeena on a date and she accepted. They’re planning to go to a restaurant in Will’s neighborhood.
Ethan Choi and Will Halstead have a crush on Sabeena
Sabeena seems to be popular among the doctors. Both Ethan and Will are interested in her. Will made his move, but Ethan didn’t get past flirting and giving her a few longing looks. At the end of one episode, Ethan sees Will and Sabeena leaving the hospital together. We don’t know if they’re dating, but it does look like there is something brewing. This seems to bother Ethan.
Ethan believed that he and Sabeena had a connection. They bonded over chess, and he thought her visit to his hospital room when he was sick might have been a sign she was interested. Was Sabeena crushing on Ethan too, or was she just being nice? Right now, it’s anyone’s guess.
One thing we do know is that Ethan’s crush on Sabeena could result in him being tough on Will. They already have problems, but the fact that Will is getting close to Sabeena will likely magnify those issues. It will be interesting to see how Ethan handles this situation.
