Sanya Malhotra and Aadar Jain

Asian Network Bollywood

Available for over a year

From Dangal to Pagglait; Sanya Malhotra is trying to pick up roles that empower women. Her latest is a Netflix slice of life comedy where she plays a young widow. The actress says she’s been inundated with women saying how they relate to her character not previously seen in Bollywood films. Also, Haroon chats with Aadar Jain – hailing from the Kapoor family with hugely successful cousins like Kareena and Ranbir; Aadar hopes his second film, Hello Charlie will prove his talent. From attending film school in in the USA, being an assistant director on films like Happy New Year, to performing in front of the camera – he wants to find success through hard work and not because of his family’s legacy.
