Mumbai | April 2026 — Rising model, beauty queen, and actress Preetika Pahwa has officially stepped into Bollywood with the release of Ginny Weds Sunny 2, marking a major milestone in her growing career.
Preetika plays the role of Sukriti, a close friend of protagonist Ginni, portrayed by Medha Shankr. Her character is introduced in a vibrant and celebratory opening sequence during Sukriti’s bachelorette festivities, setting the tone for the film’s emotional and family-driven storyline. The narrative progresses as Ginni’s mother persuades her to consider marriage after seeing Sukriti’s wedding invitation, using it as an example to encourage her daughter to settle down — a turning point that pushes the story forward.
Later in the second half of the film, Sukriti is seen on a video call with her partner Chris, played by Arthur Rudenko. The moment further fuels misunderstandings between Ginni and Sunny, as Sunny notices her on the call with Chris, adding another layer of confusion and drama to the unfolding romance.
Hailing from Delhi, Preetika has already built an impressive presence beyond cinema. In 2024, she was crowned MissAseatic India 2024, earning the opportunity to represent India at the prestigious Miss Global International held in the Cayman Islands. Her pageant victory brought national attention and established her as one of the promising new faces from the capital.
Apart from the pageant world, Preetika has also made headlines in the fashion industry, appearing on multiple magazine covers and becoming a recognizable name in lifestyle and glamour circles. Reports in 2026 highlighted her third consecutive cover appearance on Woman’s Era, signaling her growing influence in fashion and media.
Industry watchers now see Ginny Weds Sunny 2 as the beginning of a new phase for Preetika Pahwa, who is successfully transitioning from the runway to the silver screen. With her screen presence, pageant confidence, and expanding fan base, she is expected to be one of the fresh talents to watch in the coming years.
