Nehha Pendse is likely to exit Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai in a couple of months. The makers of the show are currently looking for a new actress to step into Nehha’s shoes, who plays Anita bhabhi. Several actresses have auditioned for the part.

A unit hand tells us, “Yes, we are in the process of bringing a new actress on board for the character of Anita bhabhi and are auditioning actresses. We should be able to lock someone in a few weeks. Nehha’s one-year contract will end in April and she isn’t too keen to renew it. One of the major factors of her exiting the show is the long commute. She spends hours travelling to the set and back home. It has taken a toll on her health. The makers and the actress thought that they would be able to manage it but it is now seeming difficult.”

Both Nehha and producer Benaifer Kohli remained unavailable for comment. The character of Anita bhabhi was originally played by Saumya Tandon, who quit the show in August 2020. Nehha was roped in to step into Saumya’s shoes to play Anita bhabhi in Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai! in January 2021.
