Bhumi Pednekkar marks 3 years of Thank You For Coming: The pure liberation I felt doing this film

Bhumi Pednekkar has explored a range of unconventional roles throughout her career, and Thank You For Coming was one of the films that addressed a subject that is not often discussed openly in mainstream cinema. As the film completed three years since its release, the actress looked back at her experience of working on the project and shared a clip from the film on social media. Bhumi shared a sequence from the 2023 comedy-drama, which revolved around female pleasure and a womans pursuit of happiness without feeling the need to apologise for her choices. Along with the clip, she shared a note reflecting on what the film meant to her. She wrote, She will always be my spirit animal. The pure liberation I felt doing this film. 3 years of Thank You For Coming. Also happy birthday @karanboolani, youre the best.

Sandeepa Dhar credits Aatish Kapadia for helping her discover comedy with Chumbak: I found it interesting because I had never really done comedy before

Netflixs Chumbak has been receiving attention for its quirky characters, situational humour and distinct storytelling. Among the ensemble, Sandeepa Dhars Kiran brings a grounded perspective to the otherwise chaotic world of the show. Reflecting on how she came on board and the challenge of playing Kiran, Sandeepa credited creator and director Aatish Kapadia for helping her explore comedy. Sandeepa revealed that her association with Chumbak began with an unexpected call. She said, It happened on a random Thursday when I got a call from the director of Chumbak. He told me that Netflix and JDAatish were doing a show together and wanted to test me for it. I was like, Me? Comedy? I found it interesting because I had never really done comedy before. Then I read the scene they sent me, and it was hilarious. The actor said meeting Aatish Kapadia further convinced her to take up the project. Recalling his narration of the show, she added, The deciding factor was meeting Aatish Kapadia. He narrated the show to me and played all the characters himself while narrating the scenes. It was almost like watching a play. He is such a brilliant actor apart from being a director. I immediately felt that I had to be part of the show. Sandeepa also spoke about the challenge of portraying Kiran, who is among the more sensible characters in the series. She explained, It was difficult because Kiran is probably the only character who is relatively sane. She reacts to situations in the way most viewers would be like, What the hell is happening? While doing comedy, you have to create humour through your reactions. According to the actor, maintaining the right balance was important while performing the character. She said, At the same time, you cannot overdo the reactions because then they can become gimmicky. I discussed that with Aatish because there is a reason he has written Kiran as the sane person in this madhouse. Sandeepas comments offer a look at the process behind developing Kiran and finding the right tone for her performance. While the shows eccentric characters contribute to its humour, Kirans relatively grounded reactions provide a different perspective on the situations unfolding around her. Her experience also highlights the role Aatish Kapadia played in bringing her into the project. His approach to narrating the show and portraying its different characters gave Sandeepa a sense of its comic world and encouraged her to take on a genre she had not explored before.

Maanvi Gagroos Heer Sara monologue on body image strikes a chord online: The messages and response Im getting for the monologue is honestly amazing

Maanvi Gagroo has once again drawn attention for her performance in Heer Sara, with a monologue from the film focusing on body image and societal expectations gaining traction on social media. Known for her roles as Siddhi in Four More Shots Please!, Chanchal in TVFs Tripling and Riya in Half Arranged Half Love, Maanvi plays Heer in the film. While her overall portrayal has received appreciation, it is a particular scene addressing the way women are often judged based on their appearance and body size that has resonated with viewers. In the monologue, Heer speaks about how a womans worth can sometimes be reduced to her physical appearance, bringing attention to the pressures surrounding conventional ideas of beauty. The scene has been widely shared online, with viewers discussing the expectations women continue to face based on their bodies and appearance. For Maanvi, the response has been a mix of happiness and concern. While she is glad that audiences have connected with the performance, she also feels the response highlights how relevant the issue remains. It brings me so much joy to see people relating to the scene and being moved by it. The messages and response Im getting for the monologue is honestly amazing. But also a little sad. While I am tremendously happy and grateful that people like my performance, its hard to ignore that this is still a reality for so many people, shares Maanvi. The actress also hopes the scene encourages viewers to look beyond external appearances and question the standards used to assess women. She believes that the larger impact of the monologue would come from audiences reflecting on the ideas presented in the scene. I truly wish people would learn to look beyond these superficial things and focus more on something deeper. THAT would be the best compliment. THAT would be impact. THAT would be how Id want people to remember Heers monologue in Heer Sara, she added. Heer Sara is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The response to Maanvis monologue has brought further attention to the films exploration of body image, acceptance and societal expectations, with the scene becoming a talking point among viewers on social media.

EXCLUSIVE: Shriya Saran reveals she continued shooting for Drishyam The Conclusion on the day her father was undergoing spine surgery; says, He could not really walk

The Hindi Drishyam trilogy, led by Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar, has come to an end with the release of its final instalment on October 2, 2026. For Shriya Saran, who plays Vijays wife Nandini, the last chapter was particularly emotional, not just because it marked the conclusion of an 11-year journey, but also because she was dealing with a difficult situation in her personal life during the shoot. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Shriya recalled the final day on set and opened up about the challenges she faced while filming the last instalment. She said leaving the franchise after more than a decade was an emotional experience for the entire team. On the last day of the shoot, when we were leaving the set, it was such an emotional moment because it was the conclusion. It had been 11 years, and we knew we would never come back. We were doing a photoshoot and they said, Okay, now it's done. I literally had tears in my eyes, she recalled. Shriya Saran Was Shooting Amid Her Fathers Health Crisis Shriya revealed that the emotional farewell was not the only reason the final schedule was difficult for her. During the shoot, she learnt that her father needed spine surgery and was struggling to walk. It was really hard because it was an emotional journey of leaving the set. At the same time, I remember we were shooting a really important courtroom scene, which you will watch in the film, when we got to know that my dad needed spine surgery, she said. While continuing to shoot, Shriya was also trying to coordinate medical care for her father. While I was doing that scene, I was calling doctors and trying to get their appointments. My dad could not really walk at that point, and I was also trying to get him to the hospital, she recalled. The situation became even more difficult when her fathers operation was scheduled during the shoot. Shriya said the team was filming another scene on the day of the surgery, and the schedule could not be cancelled because the production had secured the necessary permissions. On the day of his operation, we were shooting another scene which we could not cancel because they were taking permissions. While my dad had gone into the operation theatre, he told me, Just go and shoot, Shriya said. An Emotional End to an 11-Year Journey For Shriya, the final instalment therefore became a challenging experience on both professional and personal fronts. While she was saying goodbye to a franchise that had been part of her career for more than a decade, she was simultaneously dealing with her fathers health concerns. So it was really hard. On personal and emotional levels, it was very hard, she said. The Hindi Drishyam franchise began with the 2015 film, followed by Drishyam 2 in 2022. Shriya has played Nandini Salgaonkar across the trilogy, alongside Ajay Devgn, Tabu and other members of the returning cast.

EXCLUSIVE: Tamannaah Bhatia calls The Vvaan co-star Sidharth Malhotra a very genuine person; says he and Kiara are couple goals

Tamannaah Bhatia has opened up about her experience of working with Sidharth Malhotra in The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest, offering an insight into the actor beyond his on-screen persona. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Tamannaah described Sidharth as a very genuine person and also praised his relationship with Kiara Advani, calling the couple couple goals. Recalling her first interactions with Sidharth, Tamannaah revealed that the two had met several years ago at the Isha Yoga Centre. She said, I met Sid many, many years ago at the Isha Yoga Centre. That's probably one of... it was the second time I met Sid, I think. Talking about his personality, Tamannaah highlighted Sidharths chivalrous nature and calm demeanour. He is super chivalrous. If you're ever walking together, even if he's in the middle of chaos, he will still always be like chivalrous and calm. He is a doting father. He is... and Kiara are like couple goals. I think sometimes it's like he really... like, he puts up the standards right up there, she told Bollywood Hungama. Tamannaah further explained that working with Sidharth gave her a perspective that went beyond his image as a film actor. She went on to say, And not just a cinema presentation. But I think after working with him, I think he is just genuinely a very... a real person. A very genuine person. You can have any conversation with him, and he is always present, and he is very aware. And I'm so glad we collaborated on this one. Interestingly, Tamannaah also reflected on how the timing of their collaboration shaped their characters in The Vvaan. When asked whether she had ever imagined doing a more urban, college-set film with Sidharth earlier in their careers, the actress pointed out that their characters in the folklore-fantasy thriller represent contemporary urban Indians while also being connected to the idea of hope. She added, Well, I think I had probably met him much earlier. Had we been cast much earlier in our careers - maybe that's where we would have probably been at. But I do feel like, umm... we were playing characters that are kind of a representation of today's people. In the sense that we are very urban. Both of us are very, very urban. But we also are people who understand the power of invoking hope. Because essentially we are all living from that, right? Like, we are hoping, wishing. Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, known for Panchayat, The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest is based on a story by TVF founder Arunabh Kumar. The folklore-fantasy thriller features Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead, alongside Sunil Grover, Anup Soni, Shweta Tiwari and Maniesh Paul. The film revolves around an urban, rational man who returns to his ancestral village and dismisses the local beliefs surrounding a forbidden sacred forest. His decision to enter the forest after sunset sets off a chain of supernatural events involving an ancient divine deity and forces that threaten the village. Produced by Balaji Motion Pictures in association with TVF Motion Pictures and 11:11 Productions, The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest released in cinemas on September 25, 2026.

EXCLUSIVE: Writer Aamil Keeyan Khan reveals why Gaitonde became FUNNIER in Drishyam The Conclusion: He's a good detective but just unlucky...if you look at things from his POV, he has not done anything wrong

Drishyam The Conclusion has struck a chord with audiences not just because of its suspense and twists, but also because of its memorable characters. One character who particularly stands out is Gaitonde, played by Kamlesh Sawant. While audiences largely disliked him in Drishyam (2015) and Drishyam 2 (2022), his portrayal in Drishyam The Conclusion has taken a more comical turn. This time, Gaitonde is no longer as hated and, in fact, provides much-needed comic relief in an otherwise intense film. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Aamil Keeyan Khan, who has written the dialogues and is also one of the screenplay writers and lyricists of the film, opened up about this change in the character. Aamil Keeyan Khan said, As a writer, I am completely in love with Gaitonde. Hes my most favourite character in the franchise. The whole Drishyam team, including Kamlesh Sawant ji, knows that I talk like Gaitonde half the time (laughs). So, it was very easy for me to write his lines. He added, Also, I never saw him as a villain. Hes just an unlucky man. I mean, what wrong is he doing in the second part? I can understand that in the first part, he was menacing. The scene where he beats up the children is very disturbing. But notwithstanding that scene, if you see, hes a cop whos actually right about Vijay Salgaonkar. Hes trying to do his job correctly. So, I empathize with Gaitondes predicament. Aamil Keeyan Khan explained why Gaitondes funny dialogues were needed, The first half is very investigative. The cops are figuring out what all is required to legally corner Vijay Salgaonkar. All these characters, are very intense... So we needed a Madira peeke so gaye, we needed a Thodi si cheeni chahiye or a Yeh Vijay mera dost hai dushman?. So, it was a clear call that we would need some breathers and sprinkle in humour to make it entertaining to watch. Otherwise, the first half would have been very serious. It was not intentional, but whenever Gaitonde was in a scene, those funny lines came naturally. Interestingly, audiences watching Drishyam The Conclusion in cinemas also saw Gaitonde in special ads asking them to switch off their phones. During the interval, another AV features him urging patrons to grab some snacks. When asked if he had written these ads as well, Aamil Keeyan Khan replied, Yes. The marketing team came up with the idea of having Gaitonde talk directly to the audience. So, Abhishek Pathak (director of the film and also one of the writers) recommended my name. He said, Tu hi likh. Tere andar Gaitonde ki aatma basti hai! I was also on the set when the videos were shot. Can audiences now hope for a Gaitonde spin-off, perhaps one in which he finally emerges victorious? Aamil Keeyan Khan simply smiled and said, Lips are sealed! He signed off by saying, I am happy that Gaitonde is redeemed and people dont hate him as much anymore. If you look at things from Gaitondes point of view, he has not really done anything wrong. I cant say that, ethically, hes a good cop. But hes a good detective and was right about so many things.

Parul Gulati joins Eureka Forbes new campaign on hard water with life hard nahi, aapka paani hard hai campaign: We rarely consider that our water could be hard

Parul Gulati has joined Eureka Forbes for a new campaign that draws attention to the possible impact of hard water on everyday hair and skin concerns. Titled Life Hard Nahi, Aapka Paani Hard Hai, the campaign uses everyday humour to highlight how people may attribute issues such as hair fall, dry skin and rough hair to stress, lifestyle or other factors while overlooking the quality of the water they use. Launched by Eureka Forbes Ltd on October 6, the campaign features Gulati in a film built around a conversation between a domestic help and a young woman discussing hair fall. The conversation initially touches upon common reasons associated with hair-related concerns before introducing hard water as another possible factor. The campaign then introduces the Aquaguard Water Softener and highlights its ionic transfer technology, while focusing on the role of softened water in hair and skin care during bathing. Speaking about the campaign, Parul Gulati said, As an actor, Im constantly styling my hair, and as the founder of Nish Hair, I understand how much damage and worry hair fall can cause. We often blame stress, products or lifestyle for our hair and skin concerns, but rarely consider that our water could be hard. Thats what I found so clever about Life Hard Nahi, Aapka Paani Hard Hai, it takes a very real, often overlooked problem and presents it in the most relatable and humorous way. Im delighted to collaborate with Eureka Forbes, a brand that has been trusted by Indian homes for decades, to help start this important conversation around water quality beyond just drinking water, said Parul Gulati The campaign is part of a two-film series, with the first film now available and the second scheduled to follow. Through the series, Eureka Forbes aims to create greater awareness about hard water and its potential impact on hair and skin, while introducing water softeners as a solution. Hard water is a widespread issue, but its role in everyday hair and skin concerns is often overlooked. As we continue to build awareness around the water softener category, we want to make this conversation more relevant and easier for consumers to recognise. Life Hard Nahi, Aapka Paani Hard Hai captures this thought through a simple, humorous insight that connects with everyday experiences. Through the campaign, we aim to encourage consumers to consider the quality of water they use every day and recognise Aquaguard Water Softeners as a solution, said Anurag Kumar, Chief Growth Officer, Eureka Forbes Limited. With Gulati at the centre of the campaign, the film seeks to bring the conversation around hard water into everyday discussions about hair, skin and personal care, while broadening the focus on water quality beyond drinking water.

Guru Randhawa drops new Punjabi single FOSHO: We wanted to take the energy literally to the skies

Punjabi singer, actor, songwriter and composer Guru Randhawa has released his latest single, FOSHO, in collaboration with T-Series. The track, whose title means for Sure, combines contemporary Punjabi pop production with an upbeat rhythm and a confident lyrical theme. At the centre of FOSHO is the recurring line pakki pakki gal aae, which reflects the certainty of pursuing someone who has caught the protagonists attention. The song follows the idea of trying to win over a woman who appears out of reach, while maintaining a playful and self-assured tone. Written and composed with a mix of romantic and street-inspired elements, the track opens with a bass-heavy sound as Randhawa describes a woman who attracts attention wherever she goes. The lyrics include references to fashion and Hollywood, including a comparison to actor Scarlett Johansson, while also touching on the possibility of developing a deeper connection beyond casual messages. The song also features references to Gurjit Gill and Guru Randhawa, adding another layer to its storytelling. The overall composition maintains a light and energetic approach while focusing on attraction and confidence. Speaking about the song and its music video, Guru Randhawa states, With FOSHO, we wanted to take the energy literally to the skies! The track has a very fresh and fun vibe to it, which is why shooting the entire music video inside an airplane felt perfect. Working with Bhushan Sir has always been a great creative experience, and together we wanted to create something that feels fresh, larger-than-life and instantly connects with the audience. Pakki Pakki Gal Aae is that ultimate confident statement we all make when we know something is bound to be a hit. I cant wait to see the fans vibing to this one mid-flight or on their own road trips! The music video, directed by Preet Singh and Harry Singh, takes the airplane setting further by turning a flight into the backdrop for the track. It features Randhawa along with a group of passengers and crew members dancing through the aisles before the celebrations continue with a dance sequence at the airport after landing.

Dia Mirza Rekhi on choosing roles with purpose and why action must follow advocacy: Just speaking up about things is not enough, it should follow through with action

Twenty-five years after making her acting debut, Dia Mirza Rekhi continues to choose projects based on the purpose behind the story rather than simply the size of her role. Having worked across mainstream cinema, production and socially conscious projects, the actor said she now considers the larger reason behind a project before deciding to be part of it. Speaking about her approach to work with Hindustan Times, Dia said, Why is this story being told, and what impact is it going to have? She added that the questions surrounding a character are equally important to her. Those answers matter to me more than ever. And then, of course, it extends itself to: Why does the character matter, and what can this character contribute? The response to her latest show, Operation Safed Sagar, has further reinforced this approach. The military war drama received a positive response, and Dia said she appreciated the manner in which the story was developed and presented. She highlighted the research, writing, shooting and execution involved in bringing the project together. There was something so unhurried about the way this story was approached, she said. For Dia, the importance of a role is not determined by its screen time. It's not about length, but really about depth. Her sense of purpose also extends to her work outside acting. Dia has been vocal about environmental concerns and believes conversations around climate change need to be connected to their impact on everyday life. We are dealing with a triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. At the same time, she remains hopeful about the possibility of change. I'm an optimist. I would like to believe we care enough about our own survival to do better - and, hopefully, a lot more of it. The actor also stressed that advocacy needs to translate into action. Just speaking up is not enough. She said her activism has consistently come from a place of love, which has helped her deal with criticism. I have always responded from a place of love, so the hate has never bothered me. Her work on issues concerning women, children and the environment has also been an important part of her public life. As a UN SDG Advocate and UNEP Goodwill Ambassador, Dia has spoken about women's participation in decision-making, climate leadership and representation. Through her association with Save the Children, she has also advocated for the rights and wellbeing of vulnerable children. Her outlook extends to fashion as well. After spending 25 years in the public eye, Dia said she has never viewed fashion simply through the lens of changing trends. For me. fashion has never been about what is in trend. It's always been about seeking stories. She is drawn to handwoven textiles, traditional crafts, artisans and the communities behind them. She traces this interest back to her mother's wardrobe, where clothes often carried a connection to history and heritage. She recalled every piece having a powerful, beautiful story of our legacy, of our history, of many centuries of inheritance. Among her most valued possessions is her great-grandmother's saree, which she estimates to be at least 300 years old. Dia has worn the saree before and plans to wear it again, reflecting her continued interest in preserving stories and traditions while remaining engaged with the present.

Neil Bhoopalam wants to work with Rajkumar Hirani to explore family-oriented films: It would be a good shift for me

Neil Bhoopalam has built a varied body of work across films, television and web shows, taking on characters across different formats. The actor is currently receiving attention for his performance as Lala Hardayal in The Revolutionaries. While he continues to explore different roles, Neil already has a filmmaker in mind with whom he hopes to collaborate at least once in his career. Speaking about the directors he would like to work with, Neil said he would also be open to collaborating again with filmmakers he has previously worked with. He explained that a second collaboration can often be more comfortable and effective as both the actor and director have a better understanding of each other. With regard to the directors I would like to work with, I would like to work with all the directors that I have already worked with because, you know, the second time around is always better, Neil Bhoopalam said. When asked about one filmmaker he would particularly like to work with in his lifetime, Neil named Rajkumar Hirani. He also spoke about what appeals to him about the filmmaker's approach to storytelling. The one director that I wish to work with in my lifetime is Mr Rajkumar Hirani, Neil shared. Neil said he has observed Hirani's films closely and appreciates their ability to appeal to family audiences while also offering something beyond entertainment. He pointed to the way humour is incorporated into the narrative and becomes part of the overall storytelling. I have noticed that Mr Rajkumar Hirani's films are family entertainers, and when you watch them, you learn many things. Either the scene has something, or holistically, humour is an integral part of his narrative, he said. For Neil, working with Hirani would also provide an opportunity to explore a different kind of project. The actor noted that much of his work so far has been targeted at mature audiences, and he would like to take up a project that can be watched by a wider family audience. Yes, most of my work has been A-certificate work. Doing a UA or U-certificate project would be a good shift for me, Neil Bhoopalam concluded.

Mika Singh questions why Indians dislike Pakistani Muslims but really like Muslims from Dubai: Muslims from Pakistan have served at the gurdwaras and helped with the cleaning

Singer Mika Singh recently spoke about his experiences in Pakistan, his interactions with people there and his views on Pakistani artistes working in India. During a conversation on the Baatein Dil Se podcast, the singer, 50, recalled his 2019 visit to Pakistan and said that he had received respect from local people, including Muslims who helped maintain Sikh religious sites. Mika particularly remembered seeing Muslims contributing to the upkeep of gurdwaras in Pakistan. When I went to Pakistan, many Muslims who are our brothers have served at the gurdwaras and helped with the cleaning, Mika said. While discussing the significance of Sikh shrines associated with Guru Nanak Dev in Pakistan, Mika said he did not consider Pakistan or its people inherently bad. He also questioned why Indians sometimes have a different perception of Pakistani Muslims compared to Muslims living in Dubai. Pakistan bura nahin. Pakistan ke log kahin se bure nahin hain. Ye bas pata nahin kyun humein Pakistan ke hi Musalman kharaab lagte hain. Lekin Dubai ke Musalman bahut achhe lagte hain. Ye mujhe aaj tak nahin samajh aaya (Pakistan isnt bad. The people of Pakistan arent bad at all. I just dont know why, but for some reason, we seem to dislike Muslims from Pakistan. But we really like Muslims from Dubai. Ive never understood that), he said. Mika was also asked about Pakistani singers performing in India, particularly in the context of Diljit Dosanjh working with artistes from Pakistan. He said he did not have an issue with Pakistani singers coming to India and pointed out that Bollywood has worked with artistes from across the border. I have no problem with Pakistani singers. When they come here, everyone stands up for them. Bollywood welcomes every Pakistani singer. If you go there for a private function, perform, take your money and come back to India, that is different. You are not hiding when you go there. You are travelling by flight and the whole world can see it, he said. Recalling his own visit to Pakistan before the Uri attack, Mika said he had travelled after obtaining a visa and maintained that performing there should not automatically be seen as a political statement. If Pakistanis are giving me respect, we should be happy about it. At least there is someone who is going there and performing, Mika said. Mika's comments also come years after he faced a professional ban in India following his 2019 performance at a pre-wedding celebration in Karachi. The event reportedly involved a close relative of former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf. After a video of the performance surfaced, the AICWA (All India Cine Workers Association) and FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees) announced a boycott and barred him from professional work in the Indian entertainment industry. The ban was lifted later that month after Mika apologised and said the event had been a professional commitment finalised before the developments surrounding Article 370.

EXCLUSIVE: Shriya Saran recalls preparing for Drishyam 2 eight months after giving birth; says, I was running around. My husband was taking care of our child

The Drishyam franchise has followed Vijay Salgaonkar (Ajay Devgn), a seemingly ordinary cable operator and film enthusiast who goes to extraordinary lengths to protect his family. As the Hindi trilogy concluded with the release of Drishyam 3 on October 2, 2026, Shriya Saran, who plays Vijays wife Nandini, has opened up about the similarities she sees between herself and her character. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Shriya recalled the period when she prepared for Drishyam 2 shortly after the birth of her first child. She said that while she considers herself strong, she often doubts whether she can handle difficult situations until she actually gets through them. I can be very strong, but I don't know that I have their strength. A lot of times I'm like, No, I can't do it, and I can't do it until I actually end up doing it, she said. Shriya Saran recalls pregnancy during COVID Shriya then recalled becoming pregnant in Barcelona during the COVID-19 pandemic, when she was away from her family and had to navigate the experience largely on her own. During COVID, I got pregnant in Barcelona all by myself. It was a crazy time. I was without my family for months and had no help. My mother wasn't there, so I was taking care of my child on my own, she recalled. Soon after, Shriya received a call from Panorama Studios about the possibility of making Drishyam 2. She remembered the team checking in on her before discussing the film. I remember getting a call from Panorama Studios. They asked, Aap kaise hain? and then said, Hum Part 2 banane ka soch rahe hain. Obviously, they were wondering whether I was pregnant again. Then they asked, Aapki family planning ka kya status hai? Shriya said. She recalled looking at her child during the conversation as the production plans began to take shape. Shriya had eight months to prepare for Drishyam 2 One of the biggest challenges was the limited time she had between giving birth and starting work on Drishyam 2. Shriya said she had around eight months to prepare physically for the film while also caring for her child. I had literally eight months from the time of my child's birth to the shoot to lose the weight and get everything together, she said. Shriya explained that the preparation happened alongside the responsibilities of being a new mother. She was breastfeeding and pumping while also making time for exercise and other aspects of her routine. While I was breastfeeding and pumping, I was running around. My husband was taking care of our child while I went to the gym, took long walks and ran. I would come back and cook. It was during COVID, so we stayed that way until we decided to come back to India, she added. Shriya sees a part of herself in Nandini For Shriya, that period of her life is one of the experiences that makes her relate to Nandini. While the circumstances faced by the fictional character are very different, she sees a similar sense of resilience in the way both women handle difficult situations. I think that's very common between me and her, Shriya said, referring to the strength she found in herself during that phase of her life. With Drishyam 3 now completing the Hindi trilogy, Shriyas recollection offers a glimpse into the personal circumstances surrounding her preparation for the second instalment and the demanding phase of her life when she returned to the franchise.
