Rishina Kandhari who was seen in Diya Aur Baati Hum will now make an entry in its sequel on Star Plus.

Star Plus’ popular show Tu Sooraj Main Saanjh Piyaji (Shashi Sumeet Productions) has recently gotten a shift to the prime time slot of 7 PM!!

The story of Umashankar (Avinesh Rekhi) and Kanak (Rhea Sharma) has been an exciting watch for the audience.

In a bid to bring more of the memories of the cult show Diya Aur Baati Hum, the makers will now bring in a new twist!!

Actress Rishina Kandhari who was seen in the original series in the role of police officer Arpita Khanna will now be seen in the sequel.

Yes, you heard it right!!

Arpita will now enter Tu Sooraj. She will be an IPS officer now. And the track ahead will have Arpita playing a major role in helping Sandhya’s daughter Kanak.

When contacted, Rishina seemed unaware of the development stating, “I have no idea about this.”

We buzzed Producer Sumeet Mittal and the channel spokesperson but did not get to hear from them.

For the uninitiated, Diya Aur Baati Hum had a huge track with Deepika Singh and Rishina crossing swords while on duty.

It will now be interesting to see the chemistry between Arpita and Kanak in the sequel.

Are you all geared up for this comeback? Drop in your comments here.
