Grasim Mr India 1998, Diwakar Pundir will enter the <em>Reth</em> plot from 16 May.
Diwakar will play Kshom, a lawyer by profession, who will be Jia's love interest in the Zee primetime show.
Kshom is this happy go lucky guy, charming, dynamic and ambitious. In pursuit of money, he wants to be successful - by hook or by crook. Though he's not a bad guy, he doesn't set a store by high ethics and he admits the fact freely as well. Kshom will play an important part in Jia's life by getting her out of several tight spots, we hear.
