Deepika Singh, one of Indian television’s most loved actresses, is once again winning viewers over — this time as Mangal in the hit show Mangal Lakshmi. Paired opposite Naman Shaw, Deepika’s latest on-screen jodi is gaining attention for its natural performances and evolving storyline. But for many fans, comparisons are inevitable — especially with Deepika’s iconic pairing with Anas Rashid in Diya Aur Baati Hum, one of the most successful shows in TV history.
In Mangal Lakshmi, Deepika and Naman’s chemistry as Mangal and Adit is both complex and compelling. Adit, who once looked down upon Mangal’s capabilities, is now forced to face her in a completely new dynamic — as his boss. The tables have turned, and this power shift has added layers to their relationship, sparking audience interest and keeping TRPs strong.
Both Deepika and Naman bring a grounded, realistic touch to their characters. Their off-screen camaraderie further reflects in their on-screen comfort. Their fun reels and behind-the-scenes content add a light-hearted charm that fans enjoy watching just as much as the drama in the episodes.
However, for many viewers, Deepika’s golden era is still linked with Diya Aur Baati Hum, where she played the iconic role of Sandhya Rathi opposite Anas Rashid’s Sooraj. The show wasn’t just a TRP topper — it was a cultural phenomenon. The bond between Sandhya and Sooraj, rooted in love, respect, and growth, is still remembered as one of the finest jodis in Indian television. Their chemistry felt effortless, and their story of mutual empowerment set a benchmark for TV romances.
Now, the big question: Can Deepika recreate the magic with Naman Shaw that she once had with Anas Rashid?
While Mangal Lakshmi is still unfolding and the new jodi has only started its journey, it’s clear that Deepika has once again struck a chord with the audience. Her versatility, emotional depth, and ability to create chemistry with her co-stars are unmatched.
As for the favorite jodi — that’s up to the fans.
Are you team Sandhya-Sooraj, or has the evolving story of Mangal-Adit won you over?
Whichever side you’re on, one thing is certain — Deepika Singh continues to prove why she remains a powerhouse performer and a fan favorite.
