“Am blessed to be born on Dec 31st---a global ‘New Year's Eve’ celebration,” says bold ’n’ beautiful model-actress Mruga Umrania by Chaitanya Padukone

Popular Bollywood top glam model-actress Mruga UMRANIA is trending viral on social media thanks to her stunning royal looks and shapely figure.. Coincidentally Mruga, whose birthday is on Dec 31^st, feels that “she is blessed, and overjoyed. because it’s a special day and the whole world celebrates in the evening, to warmly welcome the New Year”.

In the past, the friendly yet outspoken Mruga has made her performance-presence felt in striking roles in movies such as Nandita Das’s  award-winning realistic movie ‘Manto’ starring Nawazuddin S  and recently in Puri Jagannadh’s ‘Liger’ movie starring South regional superstar Vijay Deverakonda,

Currently, talented actress-dancer Mruga who has featured in several music albums in the past, has now completed her new music album and also has some prestigious projects on OTT that are in the pipeline.

Who are the ‘dream-actors’ and wish-list-directors Mruga would love to work with during the next year 2024.?   Responds the academically-qualified articulate style-icon Mruga, “There are many top-ranking star-actors in Bollywood and I would definitely be interested in working with different lead co-actors. But honestly speaking, as an actress, my dream-costar is Ranbir Kapoor.  Even if I get to share a few scenes with him, I would feel super-elated,  The ‘Animal’, ‘Brahmastra’ and ‘ Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar’ handsome hero has been my favorite actor ever since I watched him in his film ‘Rockstar’.    The charismatic Ranbir, I feel, is among the finest of actors India has. With a versatile caliber, a quest for perfection  and a debonair personality he also experiments a lot with his lead roles Apart from this, I would also like to work with the super-energetic talented hero Ranveer Singh. Am looking forward to working with directors like ‘showman’ Sanjay Leela Bhansali who always has powerful heroine-centric roles in his movies, “ insists ‘fitness-freak’ Mruga, who is a graceful dancer and has keen interest in astronomy.

Considering bold roles, dare-bare outfits and intimate scenes are required in most Bollywood and South movies, was she comfortable in steeping into the bold, brazen zone?

After giving it a quick thought Mruga replies, “The bold characters and scenes should be an integral part of the story and the bold scenes should be fully justified   It should not be contrived just to excite and allure the viewers or audiences  If the bold or glam dare-bare scenes are aesthetically shot by a well-known director or for a prestigious banner or reputed OTT platforms -- without crossing the limits of decency---then I guess I am perfectly okay with it.   One should not select a story dependent only on its bold content, but rather a character-driven, classy, gripping story. If given a chance I would love to play challenging roles like multi-layered sensitive romantic lead  ( Dr. Preeti) played by Kiara Advani in super-hit movie 'Kabir Singh' directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga ( of mega-hit ‘Animal’ fame), “ signs off Mruga Umrania.
