Hungama OTT, one of India’s leading digital entertainment platforms, is gearing up for the premiere of its latest original, Rishton Ka Chakravyuh, on 04th September 2025. A gripping tale of love, betrayal, and vengeance, the series follows a timid housewife whose desperate attempt to save her imprisoned husband transforms her into a glamorous seductress with a dangerous plan of her own. What begins as an act of sacrifice soon spirals into a dark game of manipulation, betrayal, and power, leaving behind broken relationships and shattered trust. The series features an ensemble cast including Gulki Joshi, Navina Bole, Rahhat Shah Kazmi, Saqib Ayub, Shoib Nikash Shah, and Rrahul Sudhir.

Reflecting on her role, Gulki shares, “Playing Malti, who evolves into Mallika, has been both challenging and exciting. Malti starts off as a small-town housewife, timid and vulnerable, but circumstances push her into becoming Mallika, who is bold, glamorous, and unapologetically manipulative. It’s a side of me the audience hasn’t seen before and exploring that transition from innocence to seduction was truly refreshing. My character is layered; she’s not just about glamour, but about survival, revenge, and power.”
