Actress Pranitha urges people to watch ‘The Kashmir Files’
Chennai– Well-known south Indian actress Pranitha Subhash on Tuesday urged her followers on social media to watch ‘The Kashmir Files’, which is based on the true stories of Kashmiri Pandits who were forced to leave their homeland.
On Instagram, the actress, who is best known in Tamil cinema for her performance in the Karthi-starrer ‘Saguni’, said, “This had to be a post. ‘Kashmir files’ is a must watch for every Indian citizen to learn the heart-wrenching truth of what the Kashmiri pandits went through 30 years ago. My husband and I were left teary-eyed at the end of the movie. Please do watch if you haven’t already.”
Pranitha is not the only actress to have urged the masses to watch the film. Already, actress Yami Gautam too had urged people to watch the film.
Yami, in a tweet on Monday, had said, “Being married to a Kashmiri Pandit, I know first hand of the atrocities that this peace-loving community has gone through.

Akanksha Puri denies playing lead in ‘Chotti Sarrdaarni’
Mumbai– Actress Akanksha Puri shares why she refused to play the lead role in the television show ‘Chotti Sarrdaarni’.
She says: “The love and admiration that you get when you work for daily soaps cannot be expressed in words. When approached for a replacement for ‘Chotti Sarrdaarni’ I was really not ready for it. Even in the past when I left my show ‘Vighnaharta Ganesha’, the show went off air soon. I was the face of the show for three years and a replacement has got it to the end.”
Akanksha has done several films, television shows and music videos.
The actress feels that the audience connects with a particular actor in the show who is there for quite some time. Entering at this point won’t do any justice to the show or can anyway be beneficial for her as an actor. This is the reason she declined the offer. Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia is seen playing the female lead in the show.
She adds: “‘Chotti Saardarrni’ has been a show which has been running from the past few years. It will be really difficult for the audience to accept someone who has replaced that person. I would love to do television in the future but replacing someone is not something I would want to do ever. ”
‘Chotti Sarrdaarni’ airs on Colors.

It is because of them that I was able to turn my dreams into reality.
