Meenal Pendse to play Sudesh Berry's wife in Zee TV's Bandhan; Piyali Munshi too roped in

Zee TV’s Bandhan…Saari Umar Humein Sang Rehna Hai, produced by Swastik Productions will soon see the entry of its female antagonist in Vishwas Rao’s (Sudesh Berry) wife, Meethi. Well, if you readers feel that Vishwas Rao is a tyrant in his own right, then you need to wait to watch his better half in action. The lady will be a vicious, loud and aggressive character, and even a man like Vishwas Rao will get tamed by her. Playing this challenging character will be actress Meenal Pendse, who was last seen in Swastik Productions’ Amita Ka Amit. A reliable source tells us, “Meenal will play the role of Meethi, wife to Vishwas Rao. But she will be a complete contrast to her name, and there will be nothing in her attitude that will be ‘meethi’.” Along with Meenal, Vishwas Rao’s brother and his wife will also stage an entry. Piyali Munshi who essayed the lead role in Colors’ Jai Jag Janani Maa Durga will be the wife of Rudra Pratap Rao, the middle brother of Vishwas Rao. The actor to play Rudra Pratap is yet to be casted. When contacted, Meenal told us, “Yes, I am entering Bandhan after a 9-10 months break from TV. I am a professional tarot card reader and when I am not busy with my TV projects, I am busy doing that. I was last seen in Amita Ka Amit, and to get to work with Swastik Productions again is an honour. As for my role, I cannot divulge anything now.” When contacted, Piyali told us, “I have given my audition for Bandhan, but there is no clarity yet.” We hear that both Meenal and Piyali will start shoot in couple of days. Watch out for these ‘spicy’ introductions in Bandhan.
