Taarak Mehta Actress Neha SK Mehta Lands New Role in Itti Si Khushi

In October 2025, popular television actress Neha SK Mehta makes her highly anticipated return to the small screen with the new show Itti Si Khushi. Mehta, who is best remembered for her iconic portrayal of Anjali Mehta in the long-running sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has been on a 5-year break from television.

Mehta reveals that she was working on a web project, but it got postponed, leaving her with unexpected free time. That's when she received the call for the role in Itti Si Khushi, which she says felt like "the universe giving her a platform to do her net practice before the next innings" - referring to her upcoming OTT debut.

Despite receiving several offers during her hiatus, Mehta says she was selective and only said yes to a project that truly resonated with her. "I've learned not to be greedy for money but good work," she explains. Audiences have continued to associate Mehta with her beloved Anjali Mehta character, even on the sets of her new show. But Mehta sees it as a compliment, acknowledging that the role gave her immense love, while also emphasizing the need for actors to keep evolving.
