Bhavna Limbachia has teased the next step in Rana Nazir and Kate Connor’s secret relationship on Coronation Street.

The actress, who plays Rana in the ITV soap, praised fans for getting behind her character’s romance and revealed she is hoping for wedding bells.

Limbachia told Radio Times: “It wouldn’t be Coronation Street without there being some hurdles in the way. But they have a strong following – the #Kana fans are amazing.

“So it would be nice for Kate and Rana to be together. What we’d like is a big fat Asian gay wedding.”

But the 33-year-old actress warned that there is trouble ahead for the nurse, who is currently still with husband Zeedan as part of a financial agreement ordered by her strict religious parents.

It has been widely speculated that, now Rana and Kate have once again declared their love and rekindled things, Rana could find herself caught up in testing times.

One popular theory is a possible kidnap which could see Rana banished to Pakistan in an effort to keep her away from Faye Brookes’ character.

She told the publication: “There could well be danger ahead for Rana. Her parents have set up this financial arrangement with Zeedan and think they’ve solved that problem.

“However, it doesn’t go to plan. They do find out about Rana and Kate and take drastic action.”
