There are some characters that stay with us—long after the show ends, long after the credits roll. And Smita Bansal’s portrayal of Neelam Oberoi in Bhagya Lakshmi is undoubtedly one of them. But now, after four impactful years, it’s time to say goodbye.

A Journey That Touched Hearts and Shaped the Show

When Smita joined Bhagya Lakshmi back in 2021, no one could’ve imagined how deeply her character would shape the story. As Neelam Oberoi, the matriarch of the Oberoi family, Smita brought depth, grace, and strength to every scene. Whether she was fiercely protective, emotionally torn, or holding the family together during its darkest moments—Neelam became the soul of the show.

And let’s be honest—Smita Bansal nailed it.

Smita Opens Up: “Neelam Changed Me”

In her farewell message, Smita Bansal didn’t hold back her emotions.

Bhagya Lakshmi will always hold a very special place in my heart… this set became my second home. Playing Neelam has been nothing short of an amazing journey—it challenged me, inspired me, and gave me immense satisfaction as an actor.

After almost 18 years, she reunited with Zee TV—and what a reunion it was!

Smita also expressed gratitude to the production house and her co-stars who made the journey special. Honestly, it’s rare to see such humility from someone who’s already a powerhouse performer.

But Wait… A Shocking Twist Changes Everything!
