Currently busy shooting Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani alongside Ranveer Singh, the starlet has been away from the spotlight since giving birth to her daughter Raha in November last year. However, she was quick to make a comeback, doing interviews and performing at award shows earlier this year. Her rendition of RRR’s Naatu Naatu at a recent award show instantly took the internet by storm.
Aside from Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, the B-town diva will also be seen in Farhan Akhtar’s directorial film Jee Le Zaraa with Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif in her kitty. Additionally, the B-town star is all set to make her Hollywood debut alongside Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot and Fifty Shades of Grey fame Jamie Dornan in the spy thriller film Heart of Stone on April 11 this year. Seems like the anticipation for her upcoming projects, along with her stellar performance in the 2022 films like Brahamastra, RRR and Darlingz, has made her the most popular actress of February 2023.
