Gehna's best friend to enter 'Saath Nibhana Saathiya 2'

Star Plus, it seems can do no wrong where the likes of Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, Anupamaa and Imlie are ruling the charts and doing so staying in the Top 3 but even apart from it's toppers, it has other shows working wonders as well - and one of them is Saath Nibhana Saathiya 2. After a slow start, the sequel to Saath Nibhana Saathiya has been clocking great numbers lately and has been on-and-off in the Top 5.

To keep the momentum going, makers are all set to introduce a new character and hence, actor Sanket Choukse has been roped in. Choukse will be seen playing Gehna's (Sneha Jain) best friend from her native place.

Talking about it with ETimes TV, Choukse said, “I am playing Krishna, who is from Sasad Gaon, which is Gehna’s (Sneha Jain) native place. Krishna and Gehna are best friends since their childhood. Krishna writes plays. He is a happy-go-lucky person, who wears a smile on his face no matter how difficult a situation is. He is extremely protective about Gehna.”

Hailing from Madhya Pradesh originally, Choukse is currently at the new location of the set. About it he said, “I love shooting no matter the place or time. It is something that I have worked hard for and am passionate about my craft. Shooting in Mumbai feels like a routine, so shooting in another state is a wonderful experience.”
