Mumbai: Now that Kanak (Rhea Sharma) and Uma (Avinesh Rekhi) have parted ways Star Plus' Tu Sooraj Mein Saanjh Piyaji (Shashi Sumeet Productions) will witness a new entry opposite Kanak.

The actor roped in to spice up the drama and add an edge of romance to the love saga is none other than Ankit Bathla.

Ankit will play the role of Akshay and will be introduced as Arpita's (Rishina Kandhari) brother in the show.

Since Uma has broken chords with Kanak, Bhabho will now persuade Kanak to meet Akshay. While Kanak will be resistant at first, she will eventually fall for Akshay.

What do you think about Avinesh Rekhi?
