Hansa is an evergreen character: Supriya Pathak

Mumbai, April 27 (IANS) Actress Supriya Pathak says Hansa is an evergreen character, whom she considers an "epitome of hope". Hansa is one of the popular characters of the show "Khichdi".





"Initially, I was worried about playing Hansa because Hansa is someone who talks a lot but does nothing. But after I started playing the character, it was such a relief. I feel Hansa is an evergreen character which has been a sheer pleasure to perform," said Supriya.





"For the first time in my life, I was not stressed out and was happy. It has been 16 years and to date, a part of Hansa always remains with me. Apart from Hansa's traits, I personally appreciate how precisely the show is written keeping in mind the relatability with the characters. Her innocence is completely charming and she is an epitome of hope that everything will be fine eventually," she added.





Hansa has all the traits of a stereotyped Gujarati woman but in a fun way. Her innocence and camaraderie with her husband Praful (played by Rajeev Mehta) who is always ready to give an answer to Hansa's questions are some of the high points of the show.





Star Bharat has brought back the quirky Parekh family of the "Khichdi" show to the small screen amidst the ongoing coronavirus lockdown.

SAHI PAKDE HAIN! Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain Makes HISTORIC Leap To Big Screen; Release Date REVEALED!

BY SACNILK

The Iconic Sitcom Becomes the First Still-Airing Show to Adapt for the Big Screen After more than a decade of dominating the small screen, the beloved comedy show 'Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!' is officially taking a cinematic leap with its feature film adaptation, titled 'Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain – Fun On The Run.' Backed by Zee Cinema and Zee Studios, the movie is set to release in cinema halls on February 6, 2026, marking a major milestone in Indian television history. The film adaptation of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!, titled Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain – Fun On The Run, will transport the show's iconic characters from the familiar fictional setting of the "Modern Colony" in Kanpur into a full-blown, laugh-filled cinematic adventure. Fans will be delighted to see the original core cast returning to reprise their beloved roles, including Aasif Sheikh as the charming Vibhuti "Vibhu" Narayan Mishra, Rohitashv Gour as the easily flustered Manmohan Tiwari, Shubhangi Atre as the endearing Angoori Tiwari (complete with her iconic catchphrase, "Sahi pakde hain!"), and Vidisha Srivastava as the classy Anita "Annu" Mishra, alongside the expected return of memorable supporting characters like Yogesh Tripathi (as Daroga Happu Singh) and Saanand Verma (as Anokhelal Saxena). To elevate the beloved comedy to an altogether new level for the big screen, the returning ensemble cast will be joined by three celebrated powerhouse stars from Hindi heartland cinema: Ravi Kishan, Mukesh Tiwari, and Nirahua (Dinesh Lal Yadav). The addition of their explosive energy and established, effortless humor promises to infuse a fresh burst of comedic strength and energy into the film's storyline, expanding the show's universe into a grand cinematic adventure. The success of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! is built on a decade of laughter, dating back to its premiere on March 2, 2015, on &TV, having been inspired by the classic 1990s Hindi sitcom Shrimaan Shrimati. The enduring appeal of the show was cemented by a major milestone in January 2025, when the cast and crew celebrated the completion of 2500 episodes. Reflecting this immense popularity and the deep emotional bond it shares with its viewers, the show is now making a historic and unique transition: its leap to the big screen, titled Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain – Fun On The Run, while the show is still airing new episodes, marking a monumental first in Indian television history. Produced by Zee Cinema and Edit II, the film promises a full-blown, chaotic, and hilarious comedy adventure designed to expand the beloved universe for fans both new and old.
