Avneet Kaur, Jannat Zubair, and Anushka Sen have come a long way. From bright-eyed child actors on Indian TV to social media sensations, their journey has been anything but quiet. They’ve built millions of followers, scored brand endorsements, and entered the OTT space with style. But here’s the truth. For all the visibility, their acting careers still feel like they’re waiting for a real breakthrough.
Avneet Kaur first danced her way into the spotlight. From reality shows to TV serials like Aladdin, she proved she had charm and screen presence. Her leap to OTT shows like Babbar Ka Tabbar and Party Till I Die showed potential. But potential isn’t enough. She’s yet to land a role that defines her as a serious actor.
Anushka Sen became a household name through shows like Baal Veer and Jhansi Ki Rani. She’s experimenting, stepping into international projects like a Korean film and representing Korean tourism in India. She’s clearly ambitious. But despite her global moves, her acting chops haven’t been tested in roles that demand depth or range.
Jannat Zubair has stayed in the spotlight with a mix of reality TV and OTT content. She has a massive digital presence and keeps her audience hooked. But again, it’s mostly about the face, not the performance. Her work in shows like The Traitors hints at range, but hasn’t quite delivered the punch.
All three have done the hard part — staying relevant. In a world where trends change overnight, they’ve kept their audience. But social media fame and acting success aren’t the same. A good reel is not a good role. Not yet.
What they need now is to shed the influencer image. Step into roles that stretch them. Characters with layers. Scripts that don’t care about their follower count.
Avneet, Jannat, and Anushka are stars in their own right. But for them to shine brighter, they need real stories. Not just screens.
