Actress Ekta Tiwari Lands New Role on Mangal Lakshmi During Diwali Celebrations

On October 22nd, 2025, actress Ekta Tiwari celebrated Diwali with a special blessing. As she was performing the traditional arti for Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha, Ekta received a call that would change her professional life. She had been finalized for a new role in the TV show Mangal Lakshmi, playing the character of Neel's mother, Sunita.

Ekta describes the moment as a "true blessing." Many projects had been in discussion, but nothing had been confirmed until that Diwali day. The new role promises to be a complex one, with shades of grey and the potential to shake up the show's storyline. Ekta is excited to take on this challenge and reunite with her former co-star Deepika Singh, the protagonist of Mangal Lakshmi, with whom she had worked on the show Diya Aur Baati Hum.

Ekta's on-screen son, Mohammed Saud Mansuri, is also a familiar face, as she had previously worked with him when he was around 8 years old. The entire Mangal Lakshmi team seems to be a close-knit group, with many familiar faces from Ekta's past projects. She describes the set as having a "family" atmosphere, with a palpable sense of energy and excitement surrounding the new track.
