Rajeev Mehta (well known as Praful of Khichdi) will now be part of Mukti Bandhan. A source says, "Rajeev will be seen playing a drunkard, Dalichand who is related to Bhavanji Bha. He just wants money for drinking and that is why he comes to Bhavanji since the latter is his relative and he feels he has the right to his money. He also has a daughter who he is very possessive about. The character will be a little comic too as it's not a completely negative character but has shades of grey." Mehta confirmed his participation in the show and said, "This particular character is different from all the other characters I have played till date." Well, we hope his presence brings better numbers to the show.
