Actress Rasika Dugal took fans behind the scenes of her recent life with a carousel of pictures on social media, including a special frame featuring the women of the Mirzapur franchise.
Dugal captioned the post “Inn Dinon….” and included a group photograph of actresses including veteran performer Sheeba Chaddha and Shriya Pilgaonkar, with the words “The Queens” written across the image.
The carousel begins with Dugal posing with a dog named Max. Dressed in a light blue saree, she is seen affectionately holding the dog’s face while smiling for the camera. Another behind-the-scenes photograph captures the actress during a hair and makeup session, with her hair styled in pigtails.
The collection also features pictures of Hindi signs carrying the phrases “Meri Saheli” and “Meri Begum”, along with an image of Dugal holding a bouquet of flowers and a handwritten note that reads, “Philaver hi toh hai. Laiph-time thodi hi rehta hai,” signed by “Tuku, Appu and Sid”.
Another photograph shows Dugal spending time with Max while dressed in a green saree.
