“Kaveri will play the role of Shaheer and Ritvik’s younger sister. She will have a very important role to play,” a source told IWMBuzz.


The casting process for ‘Yeh Rishta’ spin-off is going on in full swing and the makers have already roped in Sangeeta Kapure and Chaitrali Gupte. Speculations were rife that ‘Saath Nibhana Saathiya’ actress Rupal Patel has also been approached for the show.

For the uninitiated, ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ is not the first show on Star Plus to get a spin-off. Nakuul Mehta starrer ‘Ishqbaaaz’ was the first daily soap on Indian television to get its own spin-off, which was titled ‘Dil Bole Oberoi’. Although, the show started well, it couldn’t survive the ratings game and was merged with 'Ishqbaaaz' after five months. Zee TV’s Kumkum Bhagya’s spin-off ‘Kundali Bhagya’, which was launched in July 2017, is quite popular with the viewers.
