TOI: Mouli Ganguly to enter as Ria's sister

Mouli Ganguly has been roped in to play Rhea's (Sonal Minocha) elder sister Payal in'Jamai Raja'. She is shrewd, dominating and loves being showered with attention. She also loves the high life. She liked Neil (Indraneil Sengupta), but took a back seat when she realised that he loved Rhea. She comes to the Sengupta family with an agenda.
Last seen as the young Karn's mother in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's 'Suryaputra Karn', the actress is returning to the tube after a gap of seven months. While her character had grey shades initially in the previous show, Moulli will turn completely negative in the new project. She says, "Any wife would react in a similar way as my character did in 'Suryaputra Karn' after she learns about her husband having a child with another woman. I don't think it was negative, but was justified instead." Regarding taking up a negative character, she says, "There was no such deep thought in it. I felt comfortable playing the part and here I am."
