Itti Si Khushi has been winning hearts for its heartwarming narrative that beautifully blends resilience, responsibility, and small moments of joy. At the heart of the story is Anvita ( Sumbul Touqeer Khan ), a 21-year-old who takes on the role of caregiver for her five younger siblings after her mother’s absence and her father’s emotional withdrawal. The show’s honest portrayal of family bonds and strength has struck a deep chord with viewers.
Alongside her journey is Sanjay, played by Rishi Saxena , a righteous cop and Anvita’s childhood friend. While his character recently revealed a softer side, navigating his long-held crush on Anvita with quiet charm, fans have been loving their chemistry. Their bond — rooted in childhood comfort yet evolving into something deeper — has become a highlight of the show.
Interestingly, while their on-screen relationship carries layers of subtle emotions, their off-screen camaraderie is full of fun and laughter. A recent incident from the set perfectly showcased Sumbul’s playful side. Between shots, she began playfully mimicking punches, which caught Rishi’s attention. In a lighthearted moment, he encouraged her to actually try one. What followed left everyone amused.
