However, Deepika Singh is not the sequel of the show but another popular face from Diya Aur Baati Hum is returning. According to report in entertainment portal Spotboye.com, Kanika Maheshwari aka Meenakshi Rathi will continue to play the same character in ‘Tu Sooraj Mein Saanjh Piyaji.’ The Jodi of Bhabho (Neelu Vaghela) and Meenakshi Rathi (Kanika Maheshwari) will be once again seen in the serial. As per the sources of the portal, the channel chased Kanika. While she wanted to experiment with the character, the makers were not keen on changing Meenakshi Rathi.
