Itti Si Khushi continues to win hearts with its heartwarming narrative that beautifully captures the Divekar family’s joys, struggles, and the bonds that hold them together. Adding a fresh twist to the ongoing storyline, former Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Neha SK Mehta will be seen entering the show as Hetal, Anvita’s (Sumbul Touqeer Khan) dramatic mother. 

Hetal’s entry promises to bring a fresh wave of drama and entertainment to the show. She’s talkative, flamboyant, and unapologetically self-absorbed, always finding ways to be the centre of attention and never missing a chance to flaunt her stylish, glamorous persona. Her obsession with maintaining a well-to-do image often makes her the source of chaos and comic relief in the household. However, beneath her loud exterior lies a woman driven by her own insecurities and desires. Hetal isn’t a typical loving mother; she prioritises herself over everyone else, including her children. She masks her vulnerabilities behind her wit and larger-than-life attitude, making her both unpredictable and endearing. 


Neha Mehta talks about her return



Neha SK Mehta, playing the role of Hetal in Itti Si Khushi, shared, “It’s exciting to be part of a show that blends heartfelt emotions with light-hearted family moments. Playing Hetal is going to be so much fun! She’s bubbly, dramatic, and full of life, yet wonderfully flawed. I absolutely love how she flaunts her style and confidence while hiding her vulnerabilities, creating chaos, and unforgettable moments in equal measures. This character is very different from the roles I have played so far, and after playing a rooted character earlier, joining Itti Si Khushi feels like a refreshing new chapter.”

Varun Badola on his character Suhas

Earlier, Varun Badola shared, "Well, yes, there is always a certain challenge that every actor looks for in a character, and Suhas definitely gives me that challenge. He’s not your regular picture-perfect father, he’s flawed, unpredictable, sometimes frustrating, and yet very human. That’s what makes him so exciting to play. It’s refreshing for me as an actor because this is completely different from anything I’ve done so far, and that variety keeps me motivated."
