We've already met Kal's father, Sharif Nazir and following on from the news that Sair Khan will be playing Kal Nazir's daughter Alya, ITV has announced the names of the actors that will be playing Sharif's wife and Kal's son.
Shelley King will be playing Kal's mother, Shariff's wife Yasmeen and Qasim Akhtar will be playing his son, Zeedan. Qasim will be familiar to Shameless fans and Ms. King has made a name for herself on the stage and is known for tv roles in The Bill, Tandoori Nights and Angels.
We'll meet Alya next month, with Yasmeen after that and Zeedan will be along in the summer. Kal's family will not take his relationship with Leanne well and Kal will be struggling to keep everyone happy.
