With the approaching release of 'Awarapan 2', the enthusiasm of the fans is at its peak. The sequel to Emraan Hashmi's cult movie is expected to face tough competition from Sunny Deol's 'Partition: 1947' at the box office. Time will only tell who will come out on top, but according to some reports, 'Awarapan 2' will carry forward the storyline.

In the cult movie released way back in 2007 named 'Awarapan', the character of 'Aaliya' of Shriya Saran got famous, but the Pakistani girl 'Reema' was equally famous. Who was Reema? Where did their sweetheart go after 8 years?

Those who have seen Awarapan will surely remember that the film featured a character named Reema, Ashutosh Rana's girlfriend. Businessman Bharat Daulat Malik (Ashutosh Rana) is deeply in love with her and entrusts Shivam Pandit (Emraan Hashmi) with her safety.

Shivam Pandit discovers that Reema is cheating on his boss Bharat and is in love with a Pakistani man. Upon learning this, he tells his boss everything. Bharat orders the girl's death. However, during this time, Shivam, who was holding Reema captive, remembers his past love and incurs the enmity of everyone to save her.

The character of Reema was played in Awarapan 19 years ago by Mrinalini Sharma, who was widely praised by audiences for her portrayal of the Pakistani girl. However, Mrinalini has now retired from Bollywood and disappeared from the big screen.

Regarding Mrinalini Sharma's career, she has moved away from Bollywood and now runs her own marketing firm as an entrepreneur. Mrinalini has always been passionate about sports, serving as the Chief Marketing Officer and co-founder of the Premier Handball League. Fans find it difficult to recognize the "Awaarapan" actress at a glance.

After eight years away from the industry, Mrinalini's appearance has changed significantly. Mrinalini Sharma began her career in 2005 with Ajay Devgn's film "Apharan," in which she had a special role. She then worked in the English film "Beyond Purgatory." However, her real recognition in Bollywood came with Emraan Hashmi's film "Awaarapan." She left Bollywood in 2018 after her last film, "Ishqeria."
