"I am extremely excited to be a part of 'Naya Mahisagar'. I will be essaying the role of a 'daadi saas' who is back from heaven as a spirit and plays a key role in correcting the actions of the saas-bahu in the house to improve their relationship, in her own peculiar funny way," Ketki Dave said in a statement.

"I genuinely believe a show of this nature is much needed to give the audience a breather and make them laugh with relatable content," she added.

Set in the backdrop of Gujarat, "Naya Mahisagar" will focus on the life of a small-town girl and her modern, sarcastic and hypocritical mother-in-law.

The role of Diwadi ben's daughter-in-law will be played by actress Pranoti Pradhan.
