New Indian actress for the Square?

Published Saturday, Oct 7 2006, 19:47 BST | By Kris Green

I had an e-mail from a reader earlier this week asking if there's a new Indian actress heading for Walford.

Well I can, in fact, confirm the signing.

Babita Pohoomull will be playing Preetie Choraria who will work in Tanya Branning's beauty salon, Booty's. She won't, however, have an affair with Max as it is rumoured.

Babita will appear on screen from Friday, October 27.
