Actress Akanksha Puri has opened up about her transformative role in ‘Hasratein 2,’ revealing that portraying a wrestler in the series was an emotionally liberating experience.

The role, she said, allowed her to tap into a powerful mindset and break away from previously played characters. Speaking about her character, Akanksha shared, “Playing a wrestler is not just physically demanding but emotionally liberating. I relate to the fire and discipline of my character; she fights not just in the ring but for her place in the world. That’s something I’ve done in real life too, in my own way. I started heavy weight training before the shoot to look bigger and more muscular for this role, and I’ve done my own stunts. I didn’t use a body double. It was important for me to be fully authentic in every frame.”
