TellyBuzz had earlier reported that Divyanka Tripathi and Rajesh Kumar will be seen portraying the lead characters in Ujjwal Rana's upcoming show on SAB TV, Mr & Mrs Sharma Allahabadwaale.

Sudha Chandran would be seen as a friendly neighbour of Mr & Mrs Sharma whereas Akruti will be essaying the character of Divyanka's sister-in-law."

When contacted, Sudha Chandran confirmed the news saying, "Yes, I'm playing a pivotal role in the serial, that of a neighbour. My character is very dominating, who loves gossiping and I'll be seen in complete Punjabi attire".

We tried calling Akruti but she remained unavailable.

Ridhi Dogra who was earlier to play the sister of Rajesh Kumar told us, "My role in Laagi Tujhse Lagan got extended, and I am busy with Sony's Seven too. So I could not squeeze in time for this show as well".

Atul Srivastava also remained unavailable for comment.

The channel is expected to start the shoot for the show very soon.
