After a year-long hiatus, actress Hiba Nawab, who was last seen as the protagonist in the television series Jhanak, is all set to headline a new show. The talented actress will play the lead role in an upcoming family sitcom that draws inspiration from the globally popular classic Bewitched. Joining Hiba in pivotal roles are actors Rakhi Vijan and Adhik Mehta.
Plot Overview
The show revolves around Urvashi, a kind-hearted witch who decides to give up her magical life for love. She promises her husband, Aarav Patel, that she will live as an ordinary human. However, her struggles with everyday life often land her in trouble, forcing her to secretly use magic to fix things, which only creates even bigger chaos. The series blends humour, family drama, and fantasy, with much of its comedy stemming from the clash between the Patel family's everyday world and the unpredictable realm of magic.
Hiba's Return to Television
This show marks Hiba Nawab's return to television in a lead role after Jhanak. She steps into a light-hearted character in a genre that remains relatively uncommon on Indian television. Her portrayal of Urvashi promises to bring a fresh and entertaining perspective to the small screen.
Hiba was unavailable for comment at the time of reporting.
Previous Project Update
As reported earlier in February, Hiba was approached to play the protagonist in a supernatural thriller. She was in advanced talks for the project, which was to be produced by the makers of Ek Mahanayak: Dr BR Ambedkar and Kashibai Bajirao Ballal. However, that show was eventually shelved.
Hiba's Journey in Showbiz
In a previous conversation, reflecting on her journey, Hiba, who moved from Bareilly to Mumbai at a young age to pursue her acting dream, shared, "I was a naive 16-year-old when I moved to Mumbai. I thought life was all about chilling and partying with friends. Had I not been guided by my family, I could have easily got carried away by the glamour and not done much with my life."
The actress, who has been part of shows such as Jijaji Chhat Per Hain, Woh Toh Hai Albelaa, and Meri Saasu Maa, further added, "I have made many mistakes, both personal and professional, but thankfully, my parents and siblings always nudged me in the right direction and helped me focus on my career."
