Rucha Gujarati, the petite beauty who has acted in many popular shows, is all set to play a negative character in Zee TV's new offering, 'Do Dil Bandhe Ek Dori Se'.

Here, Rucha will play the role of Mahima. She is the lead protagonist Shivani's (enacted by Mansi Srivastav) bhabi (sister-in-law).

She will be seen opposite Vikas Sethi (Jaswant Rana) and together, they will be the main negative leads in the show.

Produced by Film Farm, 'Do Dil Bandhe Ek Dori Se' also stars Arhaan Behl and Mansi Srivastav in lead roles and boasts of actors like Alok Nath, Akshat Gupta and Parneet Chauhan in important roles.

Said Rucha, `I have got an opportunity to play a very interesting character in this show. Viewers will definitely identify with Mahima because there's one such character in almost every household. She is not evil but turns grey depending on situations. She is simply materialistic and power hungry. It's actually fun to play such a character as it adds another dimension to the story."

"Mahima has seen many ups and downs in her father's business while growing up and so, she has turned into a shrewd young women and a greedy opportunist. More street smart than her husband, she is the dominant force in his life.

"She makes Shivani believe that she is her well wisher whereas the viewers will know that she is actually not so. I have extremely fond memories of working with Zee TV in shows like Waaris and Ramayan. Can't wait to start shooting for this one, ` she said.

'Do Dil Bandhe Ek Dori Se' is Raghu and Shivani's story.

Shivani is like a princess in a castle and Raghu (Arhan Behl) is her grandfather's (Alok Nath) aide who survives on a meagre income.
