Mona Darling

Twenty-two years after Sony TV’s Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin, Mona Singh is everyone’s go-to actress for fiery women of a certain age. Having starred in shows such as the second season of Zoya Akhtar’s Made in Heaven and Sameer Saxena’s Kaala Paani and movies such as Aditya Sarpotdar’s Munjya in the last two years, she is headed for a banner in 2025. With star­ring roles in the Prime Video series ‘Ma Ka Sum’, Netflix’s ‘The Ba***** of Bollywood’, directed by Aryan Khan; and the second season of Netflix’s ‘Kohrra’, she looks all set to make mummies yummy.

Kaftan Cool

Anjali Patel Mehta’s easy-breezy style has caught the international imagination, with The White Lotus star Patravadi Mejudhon (also known as Lek Patravadi) donning a kaftan of Mehta’s brand Verandah. The Thai star plays Sritala Hollinger, one of the owners of the fic­tional hotel where the third season’s events take place. Sritala is a former actor and a very rich woman so she dresses appropriately.

Yash, We Can

From playing a kingpin in ‘Toxic’, it is a short leap for Yash to portray Ravana in ‘Ramayana’. The star, co-producing both projects, is currently in Bengaluru and will prioritise complet­ing the ‘Toxic’ shoot with director Geetu Mohandas before commencing work on ‘Ramayana’, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. As co-producer of both films, he plans to dedicate his full attention to each project sequentially.
