While Sadak 2 has been in the news for over a year now, Pooja will also be seen in Bombay Begums, a Netflix series. The announcement was part of Netflix’s 17 ventures that made headlines on Thursday.

Bombay Begums has been directed by Lipstick Under My Burkha fame Alankrita Shrivastava, and traces the journey of ‘5 different women’, who have an ‘unbreakable bond’,  with the ‘Begums’ being ‘tougher’ than the ‘tough life.’ The first look featured Pooja in a graceful avatar, dressed in a saree, that justified the tag ‘Begum.’ Apart from Pooja, the series also stars Shahana Goswami, Amruta Subhash, Aadhya Anand and Plabita Borthakur.

Here are the comments

Pooja had been busy with numerous directorial ventures since the turn of the century like Paap, Holiday, Dhokha, Kajraare, Jism 2 and Cabaret. With Sadak 2, also gearing up for release in the next few weeks, it is definitely a strong manner to return to acting after the 2010 film Everybody Says I’m Fine. As half-sister Alia Bhatt, Sadak co-star Sanjay Dutt also join in while Mahesh Bhatt also returns to film direction after two decades, Sadak 2 holds relevance for various reasons.
