Itti Si Khushi: Rishi Saxena joins the cast; to play the role of a cop and Anvita’s silent lover

Television drama Itti Si Khushi continues to capture viewers’ attention with its simple yet heartfelt storytelling. Headlined by Sumbul Touqueer Khan as Anvita Divekar, Varun Badola as Suhas Divekar, and Rajat Verma as Virat, the show now welcomes actor Rishi Saxena to its ensemble. Saxena plays Sanjay, a sharp-witted yet emotionally restrained cop whose entry adds layers of complexity to the narrative.Sanjay is introduced as Anvita’s childhood friend and former neighbour—someone who has silently been her emotional anchor for years. His unspoken love for Anvita becomes a significant subplot, as he continues to stand by her side, even knowing that his feelings might remain unreciprocated.Speaking about his role, Rishi Saxena shares, “I’m really excited to be a part of Itti Si Khushi because it’s the kind of story that feels honest, full of small moments that say a lot.

Sanjay is the kind of guy who doesn’t say much but is always there when it actually counts.”Explaining his character further, he adds, “What I am really excited about is that he isn’t trying to be a hero, he’s just a man who cares and understands the most appropriate dynamic of Anvita. His feelings for Anvita are clear, but he knows she may not feel the same. That space, between hope and acceptance, much like our real life, is what makes him real for me.”With Saxena’s entry, Itti Si Khushi promises a more nuanced exploration of silent love and emotional resilience, keeping viewers hooked to see how Sanjay’s understated presence will shape Anvita’s journey ahead.
