Fans of the actress, who had been missing her on social media, couldn’t help but express their surprise and excitement at her return. ‘Welcome back queen,’ said one of her followers on her Instagram post. Another admirer dubbed her ‘Desi Dal Gadot,’ comparing her to Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot, who starred in the DC Universe films. ‘Hotness personified!’ tweeted her sister and Bigg Boss 15 star Shamita Shetty. ‘Super se bhi upar,’ said Abhimanyu Dasani, her co-star in the film.
Nikamma is an action romance film directed by Sabbir Khan and starring Sunil Grover, Samir Soni, and vocalist Shirley Setia.
