The
sequel
to
the
Star
Plus'
cult
show,
Diya
Aur
Baati
Hum
is
titled
as
Tu
Sooraj
Main
Saanjh
Piyaji
was
recently
launched
in
Kerala
in
presence
of
Bhabho
(Neelu
Vaghela),
who
is
all
set
to
play
a
pivotal
role
in
the
sequel.
As
we
had
reported
earlier,
the
show
will
move
20
years
post
Sooraj
and
Sandhya's
death,
but
with
a
fresh
story.
The
show
will
have
Sooraj
and
Sandhya's
daughter
Kanak
as
the
main
protagonist.
Avinash
Rekhi
has
been
finalised
as
the
male
lead,
who
will
supposedly
play
an
army
officer.
The
viewers
have
been
waiting
to
witness
the
first
glimpse
of
the
sequel.
Their
wait
is
finally
over,
as
the
makers
have
released
the
first
teaser
of
the
show.
Check
out
the
glimpses
of
the
first
promo
below....
The
Strict
Matriarch
Bhabho
Even
after
20
years,
the
much
older
Bhabho
is
as
tough
as
ever.
Bhabho
will
be
seen
in
the
bespectacled
look
in
the
show.
The
promo
begins
with
Bhabho
tasting
the
jalebis
and
the
taste
reminds
Bhabho
of
her
deceased
son,
Sooraj
who
owned
a
famous
sweet
shop.
Meet
Sooraj
&
Sandhya's
Daughter,
Kanak
Sooraj
and
Sandhya's
pretty
Daughter,
Kanak
is
introduced.
She
is
shown
to
be
preparing
jalebis,
just
like
her
father.
As
soon
as
Bhabho
gets
to
know
that
Kanak
has
prepared
the
jalebis,
she
refuses
to
eat
them.
Bhabho
Refuses
To
Acknowledge
Kanak
For
the
reasons
unknown,
Bhabho
refuses
to
acknowledge
Kanak
as
her
grand
daughter,
even
though
she
reminds
her
of
Sooraj
and
Sandhya.
Well,
we
will
have
to
wait
and
watch
as
to
how
will
the
story
unfold.
Kanak
Wants
To
Win
Bhabho's
Love
But
Kanak
immensely
loves
her
grandmother
and
wants
to
win
her
love.
It
looks
like
a
lot
of
secrets
will
be
unravelled
in
the
sequel,
including
the
reason
behind
Bhabho's
hatred
for
her
own
grand
daughter.
All
in
all,
the
show
looks
interesting.

said,
"Star

has
always
believed
in
experimenting
and
got
some
really
brave
stories
on
board.
When
we
decided
to
open
the
7
and
7:30
pm
slots
with
Sasural
Genda
Phool
and
Saathiya,
little
did
we
know
it
would
become
the
next
primetime
slots."
Furthermore,
"Audience
is
hungry
for
new
and
good
content.
Star
Plus
had
some
really
successful
shows
in
the
afternoon
band
and
we
are
pleased
to
open
the
same.
With
so
much
competition
rising,
we
had
been
focussing
on
our
prime
time
but
the
time
seemed
right
to
widen
the
airtime.
And
with
these
shows
we
are
putting
our
best
foot
forward."
"We,
at
Star
Plus,
are
constantly
striving
to
reframe
and
reinvent
Hindi
entertainment
television.
There
is
a
sizeable
television
viewing
audience
in
the
afternoon.
Currently
the
only
options
available
to
these
viewers
are
repeat
telecasts,"
Narayan
Sundararaman,
General
Manager,
Star
Plus,
told
a
leading
entertainment
portal.
