Her latest work titled Mithya: The Darker Chapter is no different. The recently released high-stakes drama series shows the actor playing Juhi, a woman caught in a complicated rivalry with Rhea, played by Avantika Dassani. This rivalry becomes even more tangled when they discover they are half-sisters.
