MUMBAI: Sana Sultan, who gained popularity through Bigg Boss OTT, has made her much-awaited acting debut with Aashiq Arabpati on Kutingg. While she has featured in several music videos, this marks her first acting project after marriage—and her first in a full-fledged role.
Talking about her character Reena, Sana said, “She’s a simple, confident girl next door who falls in love with a man who isn’t financially stable. But she believes that if they stick together and face the struggles, they can achieve success. I relate to this character because I also believe in growing and building a life together with love, not just choosing comfort.”
When asked about her husband's support, Sana smiled and said, “He’s always been supportive—that’s one of the reasons I married him! He constantly encourages me to try new things. While I was learning my lines, he sat with me and helped me through the dialogues. It was such a beautiful and bonding experience for us.”
Did she feel nervous before facing the camera for the first time? Sana replied, “Not at all! I’ve been practicing daily in front of the mirror, so I was confident. I had rehearsed enough before the shoot. The best part? I finished all my scenes in one take—even the long monologues. That gave me so much confidence. I genuinely feel this could be my calling.”
On what drew her to the project, she said, “Post my wedding, I’ve done over 10 music videos, but this was my first acting-based project. What really caught my attention was the format. Kutingg’s vertical content is relatable and quick to consume, which suits today’s audience. It was a great script from a big label—something I couldn’t say no to.”
Aashiq Arabpati, now streaming on Kutingg within the ALTT app, is a tale of love, heartbreak, and hidden identities. When business tycoon Kabir returns from Dubai, he’s shattered to see his girlfriend Reena getting engaged to someone else. Instead of confronting her, he takes a bold step—he hides his true identity to secretly test her love. What follows is a gripping emotional rollercoaster that blurs the lines between truth, trust, and fate. Tune in to Kutingg on ALTT To watch Aashiq Arabpati.
