Sharada Karki

Sharada Karki’s filmography is scattered with a mix of mainstream hits and indie gems, honestly. Most people probably clocked her first in “Hindi Medium” back in 2017—yeah, that movie with Irrfan Khan about the mad scramble for elite school admissions in Delhi. She didn’t have the lead, but her screen presence? Not exactly forgettable. There’s something in the way she delivers even a throwaway line, you know? Then came “Mimi” in 2021, which was way more than just a surrogacy drama. That flick had Kriti Sanon front and center, obviously, but Sharada managed to wring out a performance that stuck around after the credits rolled. Small-town settings, big emotions, all the messy stuff that makes you laugh one second and rethink your entire life the next. Seriously, if you blinked, you probably missed her, but if you watched closely, she was right there, totally in the mix—never just wallpaper. Now, “Chhaava” (2025) is the one everyone’s quietly hyped about. Details are still under wraps, but the buzz says it’s got some historical heft and a cast that’s primed to go all out. If Sharada’s involved, there’s a solid chance she’ll bring that low-key intensity again, the kind that sneaks up on you. She’s not chasing the limelight, but there’s a reason filmmakers keep calling her back. Not a household name yet, maybe, but she’s carving out a little niche, film after film.
