As Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai gears up for its second chapter, nostalgia is clearly in the air. With Shilpa Shinde set to reprise her iconic Angoori Bhabhi after nearly a decade, fans have been eagerly speculating about other familiar faces returning to the show. One name that kept popping up was Saumya Tandon — but the actress has now put those rumours to rest.
Saumya Tandon says no to Bhabiji comeback
Saumya Tandon, who became a household name as Anita Narayan Mishra, has confirmed that she will not be returning for Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai 2.0. In a recent interaction, the actress made it clear that the chapter is firmly closed for her.
She shared that she has moved on professionally and is currently committed to another project, leaving no room for a comeback to the popular comedy show. According to her, returning to Bhabiji is “totally out of the question” at this point.
Anita’s journey after Saumya’s exit
After Saumya stepped away from the show earlier, the role of Anita was taken over by Vidisha Srivastava. While the character continued on-screen, Saumya’s portrayal remained a fan favourite, making her absence from the new season a talking point among longtime viewers.
However, with Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai 2.0 shaping up as a refreshed version of the show, the makers seem focused on blending nostalgia with new energy rather than recreating the original cast entirely.
Not part of the Bhabiji film either
For those wondering, Saumya is also not part of the upcoming Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai film, which stars Shubhangi Atre and Rohitashv Gour. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on February 6, 2026, and will move forward without her involvement.
What about Dhurandhar Part 2?
Interestingly, Saumya was recently seen in Dhurandhar and also spoke about her limited presence in Dhurandhar Part 2, slated for release on March 19, 2026. The actress revealed that her role in the sequel is small, explaining that her character’s arc naturally restricts her screen time.
Despite the limited role, Saumya admitted she was pleasantly surprised by the love and impact her character received in the first film — something she hadn’t anticipated at all.
Final words
While fans may miss seeing Saumya Tandon as Anita in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai 2.0, the actress seems content exploring new creative paths. With Shilpa Shinde’s return already bringing a wave of excitement, the new season is set to chart its own course — even without one of its most familiar faces.
