TOI:Rakesh Bedi to play Shilpa Shinde's father

The key cast of light-hearted comedy show 'Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai!' will see a new member joining them. Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi will be soon introduced as Shilpa Shinde's father Bhoorey Lal. According to a source, his look is inspired by Rishi Kapoor's character in 'Do Dooni Chaar'. Bhoorey Lal dotes on his daughter but hates his son-in-law Manmohan Tiwari (Rohitashv Gaur) as he lied to Bhoorey about his business and to him. Because of this, he never enters Angoori's house and only stands outside in the aangan. Rakesh says, "They wanted me from day one, but I couldn't make time for it because I was busy with my play. I finally adjusted my dates to accommodate the show after almost a year of them pursuing me."
