Padmavati: All you need to know about Anupriya Goenka, the other queen in Ghoomar

Anupriya Goenka looks every bit ethereal in Padmavati

Ghoomar, the first song from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus, Padmavati, gave us a glimpse of grandeur we can expect from this period drama. As soon as the song was out, all eyes were on Deepika Padukone’s graceful performance and a ‘mystery woman’ who was barely shown for a few seconds. The lady in question, was Anupriya Goenka.

Here’s everything that you need to know about her: 

Anupriya essays the role of Maharawal Ratan Singh’s (Shahid Kapoor) first wife, Nagmati. As per historical records, Ratan Singh had two wives, Nagmati and Padmavati. The ladies did not share a very cordial relationship. Even in the song, the discomfort and insecurity are evident.

Padmavati is not Anupriya’s Bollywood debut. The dusky beauty has been a part of films like Dhishoom and Paathshala. She made her debut in Telegu movie, Potugadu in 2013. She got a chance to enter in Bollywood with Bobby Jasoos in 2014.

Anupriya also stars in this ad for an e-commerce brand. Check it out here:
