Meanwhile, Happu fights the case against Beni and supports Khodi Lal.

Adding a bit about her appearance, she said, “Rajesh's appearance has always captivated me, particularly how she exudes a delightful blend of Dabbang attitude and grace adorned in those beautiful sarees. The combination of simple yet vibrant sarees and subtle makeup is simply perfect! The creative team have retained the character's authentic and iconic look with no drastic changes. Nevertheless, each actor brings unique nuances to a role, setting them apart and enhancing their portrayal."

"Stepping into such big shoes is a significant responsibility, as the character is widely adored for her catchphrases and distinctive appearance. I sincerely hope the audience embraces their new Rajesh wholeheartedly, showering her with the same love and support as her predecessor. With their warm acceptance, I aim to do justice to this beloved character and make her my own," she added.
