Shiju Kataria, Himani Shivpuri, Romanchak in Kaanafusi

Doordarshan is all set to bring in a new comedy show, Kaanafusi, which will be loosely based on the lines of Bollywood super hit movie Hero No 1. The show will have Shiju Kataria (fame Star Plus' Behenein) playing the lead. Theater actor Jay Patel will play the male lead.

A source informs more on the cast, "Veteran actor Himani Shivpuri, Romanchak Arora (fame Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki) and Samradni (last seen on Sahara One's Ganesh Leela) will also join the cast."

"The show basically tells about a girl likes to be independent and also likes get into a live-in relationship. The show will be aired thrice a week, from Wednesday to Friday at 10:30 PM on Doordarshan", adds source.

We contacted Shiju Kataria and she confirmed saying, "Since the show demanded just five days a month there was no issue for me. Kaanafusi is a good and interesting show."

We tried hard to contact Himani Shivpuri and Romanchak but both remained unavailable for comments.
