In Itti Si Khushi, Sumbul Touqeer portrays Anvita Divekar, a young woman who sacrifices everything to keep her family together.
The role holds deep personal meaning for Sumbul, reflecting her own life journey of resilience and responsibility.
Sony SAB’s upcoming show Itti Si Khushi is already stirring emotions with its heartfelt storyline and a central character who embodies strength, sacrifice, and love. At the heart of the narrative is Anvita Divekar, portrayed by the talented Sumbul Touqeer.
The series captures Anvita’s journey as a young woman who quietly yet fiercely bears the weight of her family’s struggles, proving that sometimes it’s the smallest acts of care that hold a household together.
Although Anvita is a fictional character, her strength and perseverance feel incredibly authentic—closely mirroring Sumbul Touqeer’s personal journey. In the show, Anvita is the eldest of six children, left to care for her family after being deserted by her mother and burdened with an alcoholic, irresponsible father.
She gives up her own dreams and childhood comforts to take charge of her household, becoming a steady force for her siblings in the face of constant struggles. Her quiet courage becomes her shield, even when the odds are stacked against her.
Off-screen, Sumbul Touqeer’s personal journey, though different in detail, resonates with similar themes of responsibility, resilience, and emotional maturity.
For her, playing Anvita has been more than just a professional commitment—it’s been deeply personal. The role allowed her to revisit moments from her own life: silent battles, unspoken responsibilities, and the courage to keep going through uncertainty.
Much like Anvita, Sumbul Touqeer had to grow up fast. Raised by a single parent, she became a pillar of support for her father and younger sister, Saniya, while chasing her own dreams. Her emotional strength, forged at a young age, mirrors the very essence of the character she now portrays.
Reflecting on her connection to Anvita, Sumbul Touqeer shared, “Anvita’s quiet strength in carrying her family’s struggles as her own, without seeing them as a burden, deeply connects with me.
Portraying her isn’t just an artistic challenge, it’s also a unique opportunity to channel parts of my personal journey into the character and reflect those emotions onscreen. There was a time when life felt uncertain, and I was working hard to build a better future for my father, my sister Saniya, and our family. Just like Anvita, I believe strength is born from persistence, a philosophy I carry with me every day.”
With Itti Si Khushi, viewers will witness not just the fictional story of Anvita Divekar, but also the heartfelt echo of Sumbul Touqeer’s own life, a reminder that strength, love, and sacrifice can turn life’s smallest joys into the greatest treasures.
