We are excited to welcome Khushi and will fully support her as she brings this character to life. We hope our audience will give her the same love they have shown to the show and its characters for the past 16 years.”
Khushi, who is a model-turned-actor, said, “Portraying Sonu’s role will be interesting because she has many attributes. Also, being a part of Taarak Mehta is a blessing and great opportunity for me. I look forward to connecting with masses through my role.”
