Zanai is gearing up for her Bollywood debut in the upcoming film The Pride Of Bharat - Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, playing Rani Sai Bhonsale, wife of the Maratha king. Besides acting, she is trained in singing and dancing. She comes from a celebrated musical lineage as the granddaughter of legendary singer Asha Bhosle.

Meanwhile, Mohammed Siraj has been making headlines for his cricket achievements, notably during India’s Test series win in England, where his nine wickets at the Oval boosted him to a career-best 15th in the ICC Test rankings. Former great Wasim Akram praised him as now leading India’s bowling attack.

Earlier, in November 2024, Siraj was linked romantically to Bigg Boss star Mahira Sharma, sparking rumours after he liked her Instagram posts. Reports suggested a budding relationship, though neither confirmed it publicly.
