Aisha and
Khoosurat, both starring her sister. Her next film is
Veere Di Wedding, also with Sonam and co-starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Swara Bhaskar.

Bombay Velvet and debuted a year later in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's
Mirzya. He is currently filming
Bhavesh Joshi, co-starring Radhika Apte, and directed by Vikramaditya Motwane.
