MUMBAI: There is a new member in the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah family. The makers have roped in Arshi Bharti to play a key role. The actress was seen in Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon's Panipat, where she played the role of the latter's friend.

In TMKOC, she will play Rakesh Bedi's secretary. Sharing her experience, she said, “I had given an audition and had forgotten about it just like all the actors do, but after a week I got a call from my casting director saying I had been shortlisted, well at first I couldn’t recall but then when he said it’s for Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah and then I went crazy because I didn’t expect this to happen, getting shortlisted is a big thing though I wasn’t expecting I would get the role but I got a call at night saying ‘kal se shoot hai hogya hai aapka’ I was so happy I couldn’t believe this till the next day when I had my shoot.”
