What starts as a simple academic dispute quickly spirals into a dark game of psychological warfare.

The title Mithya —meaning "false," "fake," or "illusory" in Sanskrit and Hindi—serves as the central thesis of the show. It challenges the viewer to discern who the victim is and who the perpetrator is. Unlike traditional thrillers where the antagonist is clearly defined, Mithya thrives on moral ambiguity. Huma Qureshi delivers a compelling performance as a woman battling her own demons while trying to maintain her authority, while Avantika Dassani’s portrayal of a troubled, calculating student adds layers of nuance to what could have been a stereotypical role. The show posits that truth is rarely black and white; it is often a matter of perspective, manipulated by those who are desperate enough to bend reality to their will.
