Ekta Kapoor's Pardes Mein Hai Mera Dil will take the 8.30pm slot on Star Plus. It stars Drashti Dhami, Shaleen Malhotra and Laksh Lalwani. It will air from this Diwali replacing Humko Tumse Ho Gaya Hai Pyaar Kya Kare. The show starring Ishani Sharma and Varun Toorkey by producer Suzaana Ghai failed to make a mark at the TRP charts. So, Ekta Kapoor will once again repeat her Kasauti Zindagi Kay days with the same slot. The new show is tentatively titled Pardes Mein Hai Mera Dil. Drashti has started shooting for the show in Mumbai. And here is her look from the show where she plays a simple Indian girl.

The show had Gurmeet Chaudhary playing Shah Rukh Khan's character and Abhinav Shukla playing Apurva Agnihotri's character.
