Anupama introduces a gripping new dimension with actor and Mrs. India Winner Priyanka Bajaj Sibal joining the cast as Kirti, a sharply etched antagonist who brings an electrifying shift to the narrative. Bold, perceptive, and effortlessly commanding, Kirti is not a character who operates from the shadows, she owns every space she steps into.
Priyanka embodies Kirti with a compelling blend of restraint, intensity, and psychological dominance, a presence that viewers are already loving: provocative, unsettling, and impossible to ignore.
Speaking about her entry into the show, she shares, _“Joining such a loved and long-running series comes with both responsibility and excitement. Kirti disrupts the familiar rhythm of the story, and I wanted my performance to feel fresh, powerful, and leave a lasting impact”_
Reflecting on her journey, Priyanka expresses gratitude for the opportunity _“Having worked across global platforms: films, OTT, and fashion, stepping into Indian television with a role as layered as Kirti feels like a natural progression. It’s been truly rewarding to see the early love and feedback coming in, especially for a character who isn’t meant to be comfortable or predictable”_
Priyanka Bajaj Sibal, Mrs. India Winner, has represented India on prestigious international platforms and made history as the first Mrs. India to walk the Cannes Film Festival. She later earned the title of Best Model of the World 2023. Her acting credits span films, web series, and television, most notably playing the acclaimed lead in Kathakaar, which won her 11 international Best Actress awards. She also headlined the vertical series The Mysterious Master Chef, appeared in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, featured as the lead in multiple music videos, and fronted ten campaigns as the face of Malabar Gold & Diamonds in Qatar. Beyond entertainment, she is a global brand promoter and a qualified Chartered Accountant.
With Kirti’s arrival, Anupama braces for a new era of strategic conflict, calculated, gripping, and undeniably unforgettable, led by Priyanka Bajaj Sibal’s commanding presence.
