Shraddha Arya's Brief Hiatus From Work
Shraddha Arya welcomed twin babies, a boy named Shaurya and a girl named Siya, in November last year and has been enjoying the phase as a new mother. Months after pregnancy, she took a break from work and went on a brief hiatus to focus on her kids. However, the actress is now back at work as she recently returned to reprise her Kundali Bhagya character, Preeta, in Kumkum Bhagya.
Shraddha Arya's Return To Acting
Talking about resuming work after embracing motherhood, Shraddha Arya told ETimes, 'Getting back to work was a refreshing change." She added, 'It's a very refreshing shift from what I've been doing for the last so many months. Since I'm back so quickly, it doesn't feel like I ever left. I reconnected with the character immediately — like I was almost living it even when I was away."
During the same chat, Shraddha Arya also revealed that she was only working weekends. She continued, 'That makes me appreciate my time with the babies during the week even more. They are really small and need a lot of attention. Although I have a very good support system, I obviously don't want to be away for too long. It's very adjusting and kind of Ekta Kapoor ma'am and the entire Kumkum Bhagya team."
Pregnancy Announcement
Shraddha got married to Rahul Nagpal, an Indian Navy officer, in an intimate ceremony. It was in September 2024 that she announced her pregnancy, and after a span of two months, in November 2024, the actress also shared the super amazing news that she is welcoming a boy and a girl. The couple had named their son and daughter Shaurya and Siya, respectively.

Panchayat Actor Faisal Malik Defends Anurag Kashyap's Rants: ‘Imaandaar Aadmi Satak Jata Hai'
Faisal, who began his acting journey with Kashyap's cult film Gangs of Wasseypur, described the filmmaker as someone who's worn multiple hats. Panchayat actor Faisal Malik has come out in strong support of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, offering an empathetic view on the director's often fiery social media posts. In a chat with Siddharth Kannan, Faisal explained that Kashyap's outbursts should be seen not as impulsive tantrums but as passionate reactions of a man deeply invested in the craft of filmmaking. Faisal, who began his acting journey with Kashyap's cult film Gangs of Wasseypur, described the filmmaker as someone who's worn multiple hats including director, writer, producer, showrunner, and poured his heart into every role. 'If you look at Anurag Kashyap's work, you will understand why these outbursts happen. He is extremely loyal. Aur imaandaar aadmi tedha hota hai thoda sa. Satak jata hai," he said, suggesting that Kashyap's honesty and integrity often manifest as emotional reactions. The actor emphasised that Kashyap's commitment to his artistic vision has made him a trailblazer, not just in the kind of stories he tells, but also in the talent he has nurtured. 'He has given several amazing directors to the industry. They are all doing so well today. This proves he is extremely dedicated to cinema," Faisal noted, underscoring that Anurag's influence goes beyond his own filmography. Faisal further added, 'So, whenever someone wrongs him or wants him to compromise with his craft, woh satak jaate hai. When it comes to cinema, he is a great man." Known for his powerful performance as Prahlad in Panchayat, Faisal's own trajectory reflects a deep appreciation for rooted, honest storytelling—values he clearly associates with Kashyap. The web series, which gained popularity during the pandemic, resonated with audiences through its simplicity and emotional depth. Featuring an ensemble cast of Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Jitendra Kumar, and Chandan Roy, Panchayat has become a household favourite and a benchmark for small-town narratives told with heart.
