“I also run into Mouni (Roy) at parties. And then there's Hiten (Tejwani) – we worked together on a web show I was producing. It's always fun to meet old co-stars and reminisce about old times,” he added.

Actress-politician Smriti Irani has reprised the role of Tulsi Virani, while Amar Upadhyay will once again bring Mihir Virani to life on screen.

Others who are seen in the show are Hiten Tejwani, Gauri Pradhan, Shakti Ananad, Kamalika Guha Thakurta, Shagun Sharma, Rohit Suchanti, Aman Gandhi, Ankit Bhatia and Tanisha Mehta.

On professional front Naman is known for playing important roles in shows such as Kkavyanjali, Kasamh Se, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kasturi, Kairi — Rishta Khatta Meetha, Saath Nibhaana Saathiya among others.

Talking about Mangal Lakshmi, the show is an official adaptation of Kannada TV series Bhagyalakshmi. The series stars Deepika Singh, Sanika Amit, Naman Shaw and Shubham Dipta.
