Avantika Dassani, who’s the daughter of one of the famous actresses of the 90’s, Bhagyashree, is making her debut in the industry through, ‘Mithya’ which is a hindi adaptation of the 2019 British series ‘Cheat’.
Going by the trailer, ‘Mithya’ looks like a psychological warfare focussing around two women – Huma Qureshi and Avantika Dassani, who get into a conflict.

Where Juhi wants her to get suspended for cheating, Rhea says she’s taking revenge from her because of a personal matter. We also get a glimpse of Juhi’s troubled relationship with her husband of which Rhea tries to take advantage of.
With both the ladies not ready to back down in this battle of truth and lies, a murder takes place and brings both of them under the radar of suspicion leaving us all curious and guessing of what may happen next.
