Mumbai, Dec 22 (IANS) Actress Apara Mehta will essay the role of Santa Buwa, a marriage broker, in the TV show "Mere Sai".

"I'm a devotee of Sai Baba, and I love this show. I'm really impressed with my costume and zero make-up. My role initially will have grey shades. Sai Baba will show Santa the path to righteousness," Apara said in a statement.

"The set of 'Mere Sai' is very nice. It is one of the best sets of a Hindi TV period drama. The actors are also very nice, and Abeer Soofi is an absolute fit for the role of Sai Baba," she added.

Apara is popular for acting in shows like "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi", "Jamai Raja" and "Qayamat Ki Raat"
