Wagle Ki Duniya: Sugandha Mishra joins as quirky Suman with a sinister secret

With its relevant middle-class storylines and emotionally evocative storytelling, the beloved family drama Wagle Ki Duniya - Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey on Sony SAB and Sony LIV (OTTplay Premium) continues to enchant audiences. Actor-comedian Sugandha Mishra, who plays the zany and unpredictable Suman Gadhiya, is about to bring a dramatic twist to the series.

Sugandha Mishra enters as the unpredictable Suman Gadhiya

An ostentatious and manipulative woman named Suman Gadhiya shows up to Sai Darshan Society pretending to be a researcher. On set with Yamini (Manasi Joshi), she announces her desire to immerse herself in middle-class life in preparation for a future part. She uses her charisma and cleverness to persuade Yamini to let her stay in the society for a while, but her true intentions are quickly exposed.

Suman unexpectedly accuses Rajesh Wagle of inappropriate behaviour, sparking a scandal that fundamentally disrupts society. As a result of Rajesh Wagle's (Sumeet Raghvan) integrity and moral compass, Vandana (Pariva Pranati) and Sakhi (Chinmayi Salvi) stand firmly by his side when the accusations shock the locals. As events play out, viewers will see the Wagle family deal with a severe emotional crisis while wondering why Suman would want to smear Rajesh's reputation.

The track teases an intriguing narrative by revealing that Suman's goals originate from a long-suppressed hatred and an unfinished chapter in her history.

Sugandha Mishra on playing Suman Gadhiya

Mishra, in a statement, said that she immediately fell in love with Suman's character. She has so many layers, is incredibly unpredictable, and is quirky; playing her is like playing a game of surprise, where one may enjoy oneself while being surprised at every turn. Putting herself in Suman's shoes felt strangely familiar, probably because she has always been a little bit of a drama queen. The fact that the actor got to immerse herself in a few tough, emotional situations for the first time added an extra layer of excitement to the challenge. It was nerve-wracking and inspiring for Mishra to share screen space with Bharti Achrekar. Throughout the journey, everyone on the crew was kind, encouraging, and helpful, and she felt like she was at home.

Raghvan added, reflecting on the poignant tune that Rajesh, as a character, believes in doing the right thing even when no one is watching — so having him falsely accused of something so serious is a major emotional shift, not just for him but for the entire family. Nevertheless, the series expertly handles the track, showcasing both the chaos and the power of relationships and truth. Collaborating with Sugandha (who was also a part of The Kapil Sharma Show) was a joy for the actor. She infected the set with her infectious enthusiasm and made Suman her own. They had a good giggle behind the scenes, but she was spot-on throughout the dramatic moments that played out onscreen.

In the days ahead, Wagle Ki Duniya - Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey will be a must-watch due to the intense emotions and growing mystery around it.
