What made you say yes to this show?

How's your equation with Debattama?
“Our equation is very chilled out because we met for our workshop. We are always joking around. Like whenever she dresses up as Mithai, I just assume that she'll play some prank on someone.”
Have you watched the original Bengali show from which Mithai is adapted?
“If I try to imitate that, then it would be fake, so I try to mould myself into the character and give my whole and soul to it.”
What message would you like to give to your audience?
“I'm very thankful for all the efforts that my fans put in. I always try to give this love back through my performance.”
Mithai is set against the backdrop of Mathura and captures the journey of a bubbly and chirpy sweet-maker, whose name is ‘Mithai’. The show will take viewers into the by-lanes of Jatipura, where only four shops prepare a unique traditional sweet called Aloo Jalebi. It is served as the mahaprasad at the Mukharvind Temple.
Stay tuned for more news from the entertainment industry.
