The cute little girl Muskaan Uppal who came to the limelight in Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil will play the younger version of Radhika in Zee TV and DJ's Creative Unit's upcoming show, Chhoti Bahu.

TellyBuzz had earlier reported that Aditya Lakhia, Sangeeta Kapure and Rakesh Pandey play pivotal roles in the show. We had also reported that the new love story of Dev (Avinash Sachdev) and Radhika (Rubina Dilaik) will blossom from their childhood days.

The channel and production house were on the lookout for an impressive face to play the small Radhika, and have now zeroed in on Muskaan Uppal. The girl is presently seen playing the role of Meethi in Star Plus' Sasural Genda Phool.

Our source states, "Muskaan will have a very different look in Chhoti Bahu. She will be shown as a bubbly girl who does all the house hold chores in the house. She will be shown to have a connect with Kanha from a tender age".

We called Muskaan Uppal's mother to get a confirmation, but she refused to comment.

However, our source confirmed that Muskaan has already started shooting for Chhoti Bahu. The boy to play Dev's younger version has not been finalized yet. The leap is  expected to take place after the initial 10-15 episodes..

Chhoti Bahu will be launching on February 15th and will take its original slot of 7.30 PM. With this, Swastik Pictures' Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo will be winding up on February 10th.

The channel apparently is planning a curtain raiser for the Second Season of their one-time flagship show, Chhoti Bahu..
