Lucky Mehta's Poignant Journey: Fulfilling a Late Father's Dream with Ektaa Kapoor and 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2'

In a deeply emotional and significant turn of events, actor Lucky Mehta is set to grace our screens in the much-anticipated 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2'. This isn't just another role for Mehta; it's the culmination of a lifelong dream, not just his own, but a heartfelt wish held by his late father.

Lucky Mehta is joining the iconic television saga, taking on the pivotal character of ‘Gattu’.

For many, 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' is synonymous with Indian television history, a show that transcended viewership to become a cultural phenomenon. To be a part of its continuation or reboot is an honor, but for Lucky, it carries a far deeper resonance.

His father, a character artist and stage actor himself, harbored an immense admiration for Ektaa Kapoor and her production house, Balaji Telefilms.

He was a devoted follower of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', often expressing his fervent desire for his son to one day work under the banner of Ektaa Kapoor. Recalling his father's passion, Lucky shared, "My father was a big fan of ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ and Balaji Telefilms. He wanted me to work with Ektaa ma'am and Balaji."

Lucky's journey in the industry has been one of perseverance.

After dedicating 13 to 14 years to theatre and appearing in various episodic shows, this role marks his true breakthrough. He acknowledges the grind and the patience required, stating, "I've done episodic shows and other work, but this is a big break for me. I started my career in theatre, and now, after 13-14 years, I'm getting this opportunity."

Tragically, Lucky's father passed away in 2021, just two years ago.

The timing of this opportunity, therefore, adds an overwhelming layer of emotion to his achievement. Lucky believes his father's blessings are guiding him, making this role a poignant tribute. "My father is no more, he passed away in 2021. He always wanted me to work with Ektaa ma'am. I can feel his blessings with me right now," he expressed, his voice imbued with a mix of gratitude and sorrow.

Working with Ektaa Kapoor, a visionary who has shaped the landscape of Indian television, is a dream come true for countless aspiring actors.

Lucky Mehta feels privileged to be part of her creative empire. This role in 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2' is more than just a professional milestone; it's a deeply personal journey, a testament to a son's dedication, and a heartwarming fulfillment of a cherished paternal dream. As he steps into the shoes of Gattu, Lucky Mehta carries with him the legacy and blessings of his father, ready to make his mark on the small screen.
