Actress Akanksha Puri has revealed her new avatar as a wrestler named Surinder Hooda for her upcoming show “Pyar Ka Punch”. The actress took to Instagram to share her transformed look with fans, expressing how this particular role holds special significance for her.

In the image shared by Puri, she appears in a complete wrestler transformation with tied-up hair and a muscular physique, dressed in traditional wrestling attire. The dramatic makeover shows her in a powerful stance that embodies the strength of her character.

“Meet me as SURINDER HOODA,” Puri wrote in her caption, adding a boxing glove emoji to emphasize the fighting spirit of her character. “Sharing my wrestler look from my upcoming show ‘Pyar Ka Punch’. This role and this story has a very special place in my heart. Can’t wait…” she added, tagging the post with #comingsoon.

While Puri hasn’t revealed specific details about why this character holds special meaning for her, the transformation appears to be one of her most dramatic physical changes for a role to date. The wrestler look represents a significant departure from her typically glamorous appearances in previous projects.

The show “Pyar Ka Punch” seems to blend romantic elements with the world of wrestling, as suggested by its title.

The actress has demonstrated her versatility by portraying characters ranging from mythological figures to modern roles, making this wrestler avatar another interesting addition to her diverse acting repertoire.

Fans are eagerly awaiting more details about “Pyar Ka Punch” and Puri’s portrayal of Surinder Hooda, as the actress has only teased that the project is “coming soon” without revealing a specific release date or additional cast members.

As Akanksha embraces this physically demanding role that clearly holds emotional significance for her, it marks yet another chapter in her evolving career as she continues to challenge herself with diverse and meaningful characters.
