On October 22nd, 2025, actress Ekta Tiwari celebrated Diwali with a special blessing.

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.

She describes the set as having a "family" atmosphere, with a palpable sense of energy and excitement surrounding the new track.
