Bhavya played the notorious Tappu for nine long years and became a household name, all thanks to his amazing comic skills.


Bhavya’s mother, while talking to a leading daily, confirmed that he would play the role of an alien.

"Yes, Bhavya is all set to be a part of the show as an alien. It would be a little funny one where he would be seen mispronouncing the words. I am very happy to see Bhavya back on TV after a gap of two years. Of course, he was also focusing on his Gujarati movies. But returning to TV after being popular as Tappu makes me look forward to my son's show all the more," Bhavya’s mom told Times Of India.

After leaving ‘Taarak Mehta’, Bhavya did Gujarati films like ‘Pappa Tamne Nahi Samjaay’ and ‘Baap Kamaal Dikro Dhamaal’. He will be next seen in the Gujarati film ‘Bau Naa Vichaar’.


Sheen Dass, who was last seen as Pooja in Zee TV’s ‘Piya Albela’, will play the female lead in ‘Shaadi Ke Siyaape’. Veteran actress Alka Kaushal will also be part of the show.
