While Kiku Sharda, Sumona Chakravarti, and Chandan Prabhakar will continue their association with TKSS, actor Srishty Rode has now joined the cast, too. Here's all you need to know.
Rode has been a part of popular soap operas
Rode started her career with the popular horror anthology show Ssshhhh... Phir Koi Hai, back in 2008.

She also received acclaim and applause for her performance as Anushka in Sanjay Leela Bhansali Films' soap opera Saraswatichandra (2013-2014).
She gained prominence after participation in 'Bigg Boss'
Rode was a part of Bigg Boss 12 which aired on Colors TV between September 2018-December 2018 and was hosted by Salman Khan. She had a fairly long run on the show and spent 70 days locked inside the house. Her Bigg Boss stint also grabbed headlines due to her relationship rumors with co-contestant Rohit Suchanti (Bhagya Lakshmi), though she frequently quashed the speculations.
Rode also gained fame through her music videos
Rode has also gained popularity over the years due to her music videos. In 2019, she was a part of Strawberry Warga, crooned by Navv Inder and Swati Sharma under the label Zee Music Company. In 2020, she appeared in a video Kasam, alongside Vishal Singh (Saath Nibhaana Saathiya). In January 2022, she did another MV called Phone with Singh, sung by Kapil Sahdev.
Rode is awaiting the release of debut film
Post Bigg Boss 12, Rode had signed her debut film Gabru Gang. The film is touted to be "the world's first film based on kite-flying" and endeavors "to give good cinema with lots of emotions and a message." Helmed by Sameer Khan, it also stars Abhishek Duhan (Sultan) and Abhilash Kumar (Ghayal Once Again). The long-delayed film is reportedly in the post-production stage presently.
Meanwhile, stay updated about 'The Kapil Sharma Show'
