CHANDIGARH | MONDAY | 15 JUNE 2026 Subhash K Jha Sharvari on success, ruby S HARVARI’S climb to fame has been swift and steady. About a decade ago, she was working as an assistant director on the sets of Luv Ranjan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Today she leads the cast in big productions like Main Vaapas Aaunga and Alpha. The effervescent young actress remains pleasantly unaffected by her success. We talk to her about her rising career graph and her acclaimed role in Main Vaapas Aaunga From Bunty Aur Babli 2 to Main Vaapas Aaunga… how do you view your journey so far? The diva walks the red carpet wearing a Rs 9.4 lakh ring from Amrapali Jewels AnanyaVerma Taylor Swift made history at the 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame by becoming the youngest woman to ever receive the honour. While the milestone marked a defining moment in her career, her red carpet appearance generated its own conversation. Swift arrived in a black Givenchy gown by Sarah Burton. The dress is corseted at the top, opens into a draped skirt with a thigh-high slit. Hand-embroidered floral detailing added texture to the otherwise minimalist look, reinforcing the house's signature craftsmanship. Her ring, however, is what people are actually talking about. It's from Lo- Jherh fo|k ofr tSu ekrk th Amrapali Jewels, a Jaipur-based house that has spent decades working with India's traditional goldsmithing techniques. The piece is a 2.41-carat oval ruby ring in 18-karat gold, surrounded by rose-cut diamonds arranged in a floral halo pattern. As listed on Amrapali Jewels' official website, it is priced at $9,900, which is approximately ~9.4 lakh. The brand posted about it on Instagram, saying Swift's choice was a nod to Jaipur's royal jewellery heritage. Amrapali has not said whether the piece was bought, borrowed or gifted. She kept the rest of her styling understated and paired the look with citrine earrings, a diamond bracelet, red lips, soft eye makeup. Lo- Jh #Ik yky tSu firk th I feel like I’ve grown with every film. When I started out, I just wanted an opportunity to do the work I loved. Today, when I look at the kind of filmmakers and stories I’ve been able to be a part of, I feel grateful. It’s not been a straight line by any means, but I think every experience has prepared me for the next one. Getting to be part of Main Vaapas Aaunga feels like a really special step in that journey. As an outsider, has it been a struggle to get where you are? I think every actor has his/her own challenges, and for me, patience has probably been the biggest lesson. There are moments when things don’t move as quickly as you’d like them to, but I’ve always believed in focusing on the work rather than the noise around it.

What was your reaction when Imtiaz Ali offered you Main Vaapas Aaunga? I was very excited. I’ve admired his films for years and I’ve always loved the way he writes his characters, especially the women. I remember hearing the narration and an opportunity than a challenge. When you’re working with people you admire, you naturally want to bring your best to the set every day. There was so much to learn just by observing everyone. At the same time, the environment was very warm and collaborative, so it never felt intimidating. It felt inspiring. Was it tough shooting in the outdoors of Punjab? Absolutely. Punjab is breathtakingly beautiful, but shooting outdoors always comes with its own set of challenges. We were often filming in extreme weather conditions, sometimes under the blazing sun and sometimes in locations that were physically demanding to access. But strangely, those challenges became part of the experience. What made it special was that the landscape itself felt like a character in the film. Since Main Vaapas Aaunga is so deeply rooted in Punjab’s history, culture and emotions, being there helped us stay connected to the world we were trying to create. When you’re surrounded by those mustard fields, those villages and that incredible warmth of the people, the fatigue somehow disappears. Looking back, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Tell me about some of the memorable incidents during the shooting. There are so many memories from this film because it wasn’t just a shoot, it felt like a journey. One of my fondest memories is simply the conversations we used to have between takes. Imtiaz sir has this incredible ability to make you think differently about life, relationships and emotions. Some of the most meaningful moments happened when the cameras weren’t rolling. I also remember how the entire cast and crew became like a family over time. And of course, filming the songs was magical. There’s a certain innocence and joy in those moments that I’ll always carry with me.
