Kanika adds personal touch to 'Diya Aur...' sequel

Popular for playing Meenakshi in "Diya Aur Baati Hum", actress Kanika Maheshwari says she has added a personal touch to the role in the upcoming sequel of the television show. Kanika will be seen in "Tu Sooraj Main Saanjh Piyaji". "Meenakshi became a popular character from ‘Diya Aur Baati Hum' and fans now recognise me with that character. For the sequel, ‘Tu Sooraj Main Saanjh Piyaji', I have planned to add my own flavour and dialogues for my character which will make it even more engaging and interesting for the viewers," Kanika said in a statement. As "Diya Aur Baati Hum" ended with the death of its lead pair Sooraj and Sandhya Rathi (played by actors Anas Rashid and Deepika Singh), "Tu Sooraj Main Saanjh Piyaji" will focus on the journey of their children Ved, Vansh and Kanak Rathi. Kanika, who is returning as Sandhya's sister-in-law, shared that in the upcoming show her character will mainly remain the same.
