MUMBAI : Zee TV is set to launch a new show titled Mithai. The show stars Debattama Saha and Aashish Bhardhwaj in the lead roles and is produced by Arvind Babbal.

Today happened to be the launch of the show. TellyChakkar got into a conversation with Debattama, who spoke about her character, the show, and more.

What made you say yes to this show?

“What prompted me to take this show was that I had taken a long break after my last show. I auditioned for this, and they called me up to offer the role. My character is such a vast, positive, and unique one. Whenever I dress up for my character, I imbibe her nature.”

How's your equation with Aashish?

“Ashish is very notorious. He pulls pranks on me, and the entire cast supports him.”

Have you watched the original Bengali show from which Mithai is adapted?

“Yes, I have watched it, but I'm being myself while doing Mithai. I am doing it in a natural manner by taking reference from the original show. I'm giving my 100 percent to it.”

What message would you like to give to your audience?

“I feel very grateful for the love I've received. I just want them to watch and review our show.”

Mithai is set against the backdrop of Mathura and captures the journey of a bubbly and chirpy sweet-maker, whose name is ‘Mithai’. The show will take viewers into the by-lanes of Jatipura, where only four shops prepare a unique traditional sweet called Aloo Jalebi. It is served as the mahaprasad at the Mukharvind Temple.

Stay tuned for more news on the entertainment industry.
