Riva Bubber will play a cameo in Ekta Kapoor's Kkavyanjali on Star Plus. Till last night, the role, we have it on authority, was going to Gauri Pradhan. When contacted today at 3 pm, Riva acknowledged that she had been confirmed for the role by Balaji's creative director Saket just this afternoon. "I received a call just 45 minutes ago. I am on my way to honour my first day of shoot in this serial," she said. Riva added that her track will be something to do with Hiten Tejwani (who entered the serial last week as Yug Mittal). "I haven't asked for the details. There was no time. Besides, I trust Balaji." On the other hand, Gauri admitted that she was supposed to do the role but suddenly Balaji thought that she would not fit the character. "It was a negative character. So I think they didn't want to tamper the positive Karan-Nandini (Kyunki...') relationship effect, I guess," she pointed out. As of now, both Riva and Gauri are doing Kyunki.... Gauri is also doing Special Squad that airs on Star One. Riva, supposed to perform at the Star Parivaar awards show on 25 May, is through with Cinevistaas' and Sony's Aayushman which went off air recently.
