Kyunki Saas: Meet Gen Next
Bhumi Who: Karan and Tanya?s daughterPlayed by: Reshmi Ghosh Reshmi, who was crowned Miss India-Earth in 2002, claims that Bhumi is a headstrong, spoilt brat, the complete opposite of what she is in real life. "I was waiting for the right offer in films to come up all this time," she says, "but nothing exciting did. I realised that TV was a more secure industry though, which is decided to work in this medium." She originally met Ekta for a different role, but was offered this one. "I am happy about this," she says, "and now have a three-year contract with Balaji Telefilms."

Lakshya
Who: Son of Sahil and GangaPlayed by: Pulkit Samrat Pulkit, who plays the mischievous, religious and sensitive Lakshya, says, "I play a good guy. True to the traditions of the Virani family, I always try to be honest and upright, standing up to family values. It is a great experience working on this serial."
According to the grapevine, Lakshya may also be the love interest of Krishna Tulsi.
Played by: Manav Vij Psychiatrist-turned-actor Manav Vij claims, "The role is of an extremely lovable and simple geek who is adopted by the Virani family." But how does a psychiatrist fit into the boob tube? "Acting is my passion. It?s why I am in this profession despite passing out from Ludhiana University with a degree in psychiatry. However, whenever I get a chance, I do provide counselling services," says the actor, who dreams of playing the role of Adolf Hitler some day. Eventually, Joydeep will marry Bhumi in the serial. And, if Joydeep?s looks remind you of Tusshar Kapoor in Gayab, don?t be surprised. That is very intentional!
