Actor Saumya Tandon recently took to social media to extend birthday wishes to her former co-star Aasif Sheikh. In her Instagram story, Saumya shared a memorable photograph featuring the two in character from their time on the hit television show Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai. She captioned the image, “Happy Birthday to the best co-actor ever and my best friend @iaasifsheikhofficial,” expressing her appreciation for their bond.
Saumya and Aasif became household names through their work on Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai, one of Indian television’s most beloved sitcoms. The show, which first aired in 2015, quickly gained popularity for its humorous take on the lives of two neighboring couples and their quirky interactions. Aasif Sheikh plays Vibhuti Narayan Mishra, a charming but often lazy character who constantly tries to impress his neighbor’s wife, Angoori, leading to various comedic situations. Saumya Tandon portrayed the role of Anita Bhabhi, Vibhuti’s smart and confident wife, who frequently puts him in his place with her wit.
The show’s clever writing, strong character performances, and light-hearted comedy have kept it on air for nearly a decade, making it one of the longest-running sitcoms on Indian television. Aasif Sheikh’s performance, in particular, has been widely praised for his versatility and comic timing, as he often takes on various disguises to carry out Vibhuti’s antics.
Saumya Tandon was a part of the show for several years before she decided to exit in 2020. Despite her departure, she has maintained strong ties with her former co-stars. Her birthday message to Aasif Sheikh highlights the camaraderie they shared both on and off the screen, with fans appreciating the nostalgic reminder of their chemistry on the show.
The show continues to entertain audiences, with Aasif Sheikh remaining a key figure in its enduring success as the show has now been on-air for over nine years.
