Stargazer: Naila Grrewal, Sanya Malhotra and Nithya Raman

 Rule of Law

Maamla Legal Hai star Naila Grrewal has returned in her role as Advocate Ananya Shroff. In this season, Ananya faces competition from Naina Arora (Kusha Kapila), but Ananya, like Grrewal, has managed to stay ahead of the curve. Earlier, Grrewal starred in Ishq Vishk Rebound (2024) along with Pashmina Roshan and Rohit Saraf. With a strong performance in Maamla Legal Hai’s second season, Grrewal can keep dreaming bigger.

 Kashmir Calling

Sanya Malhotra is in Kashmir, shooting for ‘Sundar Poonam’, an intriguing movie soon to be released on Prime Video. The snow-covered photos Malhotra dropped recently on Instagram make it seem even more cap­tivating. The film stars Aditya Rawal as well as Aditya Seal. ‘Sundar Poonam’ focuses on the disappearance of a couple on their hon­eymoon in Kashmir, which seems to have wit­nessed a revival as a filming location.
