Priya Prakash Varrier, once a nationwide sensation for her viral wink in Oru Adaar Love, has unexpectedly resurfaced in Bollywood — but not in the way fans imagined. The actress recently appeared in Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s rom-com Param Sundari, not as a lead, but as a background extra, leaving audiences stunned and questioning her choice.
Fans spot Priya in crowd scene
A video doing the rounds on social media shows Priya in a red and white saree, quietly blending into the crowd behind Sidharth in a scene. As the clip spread across Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Reddit, fans were quick to react with a mix of surprise and curiosity.
Social media reactions pour in
One fan wrote, ‘I wonder how no one noticed this. I thought only I noticed, but I’m glad someone at least did.’ Another one added, ‘Editing can be ruthless, and character cuts are common. Only the bitter take pleasure in someone else’s bad phase.’ One user also wrote, ‘She deserves better. From viral sensation to background?’One commeted, ‘She would have been better for taking up Janhvi Kapoor’s role.’ Another one agreed, ‘Should’ve cast her instead of Janhvi’.
Param Sundari’s mixed reception
Param Sundari revolves around the cross-cultural romance between the two leads, one from Delhi and the other from Kerala. Apart from Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi, the film also stars Rajeev Khandelwal and Aakash Dahiya in pivotal roles. Upon release, the film drew criticism for its clichéd portrayal of Malayalis, weak lead chemistry, and an underwhelming plot.
