Preeti Chaudhary, the protagonist of Shashi-Sumeet Productions’ popular show on Sony PAL, Ek Rishta Aisa Bhi, bid a teary farewell, after her character breathed her last recently. And now, it is time for a new female lead to enter the show…

Yes, that’s true!! And playing the central role now will be pretty actress Ekta Kaul who was last seen essaying the role of Suhani in Sony TV’s Bade Achhe Lagte Hain.

A source reveals, “Ekta’s entry will open up a new track in the life of the male protagonist, Rahul Sharma.”

We tried contacting Ekta, but she did not take our calls.

Ekta has earlier been part of Rab Se Sohna Isshq, and the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

We hear that the actress has started shooting for the show.
