The India-Pakistan tension has captured nationwide attention with the government taking several steps against the neighbouring country, including its actors and artists. Amidst this, a war of words ensued between Sanam Teri Kasam actors Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane surrounding Operation Sindoor, resulting in the latter getting dropped from the sequel. In that light, we have picked 5 actresses who can replace her in Sanam Teri Kasam 2.

Sanam Teri Kasam 2: 5 Actresses Who Can Replace Mawra Hocane

Due to the ongoing Indo-Pak uneasiness, the Indian government has taken several tough calls, including in the entertainment world. For example, they recently asked the OTT platforms to take down Pakistani movies and TV shows without further delay. Moreover, the release of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan's Bollywood comeback Abir Gulaal has been postponed indefinitely.

In the meantime, Sanam Teri Kasam actors Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane waged a war of words on social media, where Rane lashed out at the latter for her comments on Operation Sindoor. Consequently, Rane volunteered not to get associated with Sanam Teri Kasam 2 if Hocane was involved, prompting the film’s directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru to drop her instead.

While no actor has been announced as Hocane's replacement, we have selected 5 names who can be Harshvardhan Rane's ladylove in Sanam Teri Kasam 2:

1) Kriti Sanon

Kriti Sanon has proved her mettle through diverse roles in Bollywood earning a National Film Award and two Filmfare Awards. From thriller, sports action, comedy horror to romantic, the 34-year-old has covered all the genres with full aplomb. So, Sanon as Rane's sweetheart will be a great fit given the range of expressions she is capable of emoting.

2) Kiara Advani

Kiara Advani is our next pick since the actress has made her ground in Bollywood within a pretty short time. Debuting in the 2016 sports biopic M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, Advani (33) went on to star in several films across different genres with her portrayal of a troubled married woman in Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023) particularly engaging.

3) Fatima Sana Shaikh

Even though Fatima Sana Shaikh has not done a lot of films, she has shown promising performances in whatever she starred. Her portrayal as Geeta Phogat in Dangal aside, Shaikhcaught our eye as Pinky in Ludo, as Lipakshi in Ajeeb Daastaans, and as Indira Gandhi in Sam Bahadur. She has a docile yet fierce aura around her, making the 33-year-old the perfect pick as Inder's romantic interest.

4) Pooja Hegde

Pooja Hegde is slowly and steadily rising up the ranks of Bollywood, having featured in movies like Mohenjo Daro opposite Hrithik Roshan, Housefull 4 opposite Riteish Deshmukh, and Deva opposite Shahid Kapoor, among others. Her innocent face and vulnerable vibe make Hegde (34) an excellent choice as someone who can be a counter to Inder's macho image.

5) Sanya Malhotra

We have seen her in sports film Dangal (2016), action thriller Jawan (2023), comedy Badhaai Ho (2018), biopic Sam Bahadur (2023), romantic drama Photograph (2019), as well as in black comedy Ludo (2020), Pagglait (2021), Kathal (2023) and Mrs. (2024), among others. And we know how capable Sanya Malhotra (33) is to pull off a character who can be both compliant and defiant. Rane as Inder and Malhotra as his love interest will be a heady cocktail that will make us trippy for sure.

Sanam Teri Kasam 2 is set to release sometime in 2025.
