Smriti Irani announces new soap for ZEE TV

Lady-in-demand Smriti Irani has announced her first production for ZEE TV.

The drama titled ‘Waaris’ consists of stars like Iqbal Khan, Yuvraj Malhotra, Rucha Gujrati and Aashka Goradia.

Yuvraj Malhotra, one of the leads of the show, told Telly Chakkar, “Rucha and Aashka have been penned down to play the lead actresses in the show. Rucha will be opposite me while Aashka will play love interest to Iqbal.”

When contacted Rucha said, “It is a youth centric show and the role offered to me is that of a rich girl named Aditi who has been pampered a lot by everyone around. I have given a look test for the role but nothing has been finalised as yet. Negotiations are on and if everything works out properly then I�۪ll start shooting in the next couple of days.”

Previously Smriti was working on a sitcom, also for ZEE TV, called ‘Bai Bole Toh Gangu Bai’, which was scrapped after it was alleged that the show�۪s concept was lifted from a Marathi popular ‘Kumari Gangubai Non Matric’.
