Spotlights the journey of Anvita – Itti Si Khushi On Sony SAB
Sony SAB, the leading destination for family-friendly, feel-good entertainment, is all set to launch Itti Si Khushi — a compelling and emotionally rich family entertainer that promises to strike a chord with audiences across generations. Itti Si Khushi is set against the backdrop of Mumbai and tells the story of 21-year-old Anvita, the eldest of six siblings, who becomes the unexpected anchor of their crumbling home.
With a father battling alcoholism and a mother who abandoned them, Anvita becomes the glue that holds her family together, sacrificing her education and setting aside her own aspirations to build a better future for them. What follows is a humorous, tender yet raw portrayal of everyday survival, silent sacrifices, and the quiet triumph of love and resilience.
Varun Badola is set to mark his return to television for the first time in 6 years in the role of the dysfunctional patriarch Suhas, joined by Sumbul Touqeer (who plays his daughter Anvita) and Rajat Verma (who plays her love interest Virat). The show also boasts of a celebrated crew including, National award-winning director Rajesh Mapuskar who has been roped in as a creative force in the show.
Produced by Rose Audio Visuals Itti Si Khushi is the Indian adaptation of the acclaimed series ‘Shameless’, originally developed by Company Pictures and UK writer Paul Abbott, in collaboration with rights holder All3Media International. The original show became a cult favorite on Channel 4, garnering several accolades, including Best Drama Series at the BAFTA TV Awards. Its American version received significant praise, earning multiple Primetime Emmy nominations and winning four awards. Both adaptations boasted impressive casts, highlighting talented actors in both the UK and U.S. versions.
Premiering on 18th August, the show will air on Sony SAB and promises to offer audiences a story that’s gritty, heartfelt, and immensely relatable.
