Uma Katju

Uma Katju isn’t exactly a household name, but she’s been turning heads lately, especially with her role in Sister Midnight (2024). Before that, she popped up in A Suitable Boy (2020), which was a pretty big deal if you’re into period dramas. Honestly, if you blinked, you might’ve missed her, but real ones know she’s got something going on. There’s this energy she brings—kind of like she’s always about to say something clever or stir up a little trouble. Sister Midnight gave her more room to work with, and you can tell she’s loving the limelight. It’s not just about looking mysterious on screen, either. She’s got this knack for pulling you in, making you wonder what her character’s hiding or what she might do next. A Suitable Boy was more of a traditional gig—sarees, big family drama, all that jazz. Not that she didn’t handle it, but you could tell she was itching for something more offbeat. Then Sister Midnight drops, and boom, she’s front and center, mixing it up with a cast that’s just as quirky. People are starting to notice, asking, “Wait, who’s that?” There’s talk that she’s got a few more wild projects lined up, maybe even something behind the camera. Anyway, she’s one to watch—might not be A-list yet, but she’s making her mark, scene by scene.
