Riya Shukla will be transforming from Pinky to Imarti on Naati Pinky Ki Lambi Love Story. As the show has resumed shooting, the makers are providing a twist in the tale. Imarti is a small-town girl with buck teeth and nerdy glasses. She has her own hidden agenda and will lead the story in a new direction in the upcoming fresh episodes.

Reunion time

Ruslaan Mumtaz is the new entry in the long-running soap, Yeh Rishtey Hai Pyaar Ke. He plays businessman Varun who is linked with protagonist Abir's (Shaheer Sheikh) sister. Mumtaz and Sheikh have known each other for over a decade. They refer to themselves as the 'telly bros'. The show has provided them a chance to reconnect. "While on-screen, we will be seen as rivals, in real life it's a reunion of old pals," says Mumtaz.
