Sumbul Touqeer Khan gets nostalgic about playing a motherly role to her sister Saniya while filming Itti Si Khushi

Ahead of its launch on 18th August at 9 PM, Itti Si Khushi is building intrigue with its heartfelt story and the compelling portrayal of its strong lead character, Anvita Divekar, played by Sumbul Touqeer Khan. The show follows Anvita’s journey as a determined young woman who carries her family’s struggles with quiet strength.While shooting for one of the sequences, Sumbul found herself reliving a special off-screen memory that mirrored her character’s emotions. Raised by a single parent, Sumbul embraced the role of a mother, caring deeply for her younger sister, Saniya, and becoming her constant source of guidance. The memory of this real-life bond was ignited during the shoot of a recent scene where Anvita is seen teaching and helping her younger sister with her homework. The moment instantly took Sumbul down memory lane, reminding her of the countless times Saniya would seek her opinion, no matter how small the decision, much like a child seeks his/her mother’s nod. Wanting to share this special connection with her fans, Sumbul took to Instagram and wrote: "Some scenes have a way of blurring the lines between reel and real. 💛While filming a scene for Itti Si Khushi as Anvita where I'm teaching and helping my sibling with homework, I was instantly reminded of how my real younger sister, Saniya, would always turn to me for the smallest decisions - much like a child seeking their mother’s nod."Itti Si Khushi features Sumbul Touqeer Khan in the lead role as Anvita Divekar, alongside Varun Badola, Rishi Saxena and Rajat Verma in key roles.
