&TV‘s Happu Ki Ultan Paltan continues to entertain audiences with its delightful antics, revolving around DarogaHappu Singh (Yogesh Tripathi), his wife Rajesh (Geetanjali Mishra), and their quirky family. Known for its light-hearted humour and engaging storylines, the show is now set to take the fun quotient a notch higher with a special track featuring Geetanjali in a double role. In this new twist, Geetanjali will portray a character that’s a stark contrast to her usual portrayal of Rajesh, promising both comedy and drama. Sharing her excitement about this new challenge, Geetanjali, who plays Rajesh, said, “I feel truly fortunate to be part of a show that allows me to entertain viewers through such diverse characters. Playing a double role has always been on my wishlist, and I’m thrilled that it’s finally happening on Happu Ki Ultan Paltan. When I first heard about the new storyline where Rajesh has a look-alike, I was thrilled. To prepare for this role, I drew inspiration from one of my all-time favourite films, Chaalbaaz, in which the late Sridevi Ji delivered an iconic double-role performance. I am a huge fan of hers and have watched that film countless times. To do justice to my character, I revisited the movie and found Sridevi’s wit and energy to be truly inspiring. While my character isn’t exactly like hers in the film, I’ve certainly taken inspiration from her portrayal.”
Describing her experience with the dual role, Geetanjali added, “In this track, Rajesh is frustrated because no one in the family, not even her husband Happu or the kids, takes her seriously. Fed up, she decides to leave, and that’s when a bold, new version of Rajesh enters the scene, shocking everyone. Shooting these scenes was such a fun experience! There were moments when I had to remind myself, ‘Which Rajesh am I playing today?’ Am I the loving, caring wife, or the fierce, no-nonsense version? My co-stars had a great laugh at my dual personality on set! This track is packed with humour and drama, and I’m sure the viewers will love it.”
