The first season had Regé-Jean Page in the lead, whereas the second season of the acclaimed Netflix drama introduced the Sharma sisters to the franchise that includes Charithra Chandran as Edwina Sharma and Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma. The second season consists of eight episodes, each with a runtime of 50 minutes to 70 minutes.

Earlier, B-town’s ‘desi girl’ shared a picture with a ‘Made in India’ manhole a couple of days back. For Priyanka, it did not matter if it was just a manhole. She appeared pretty cheerful while posing beside the manhole in a picture shared on her Instagram Stories. The picture also featured Priyanka’s niece Krishna who adorably posed with her.

Meanwhile, Priyanka and husband Nick Jonas welcomed their first child together in January this year, through surrogacy. While the couple has not revealed anything about their newborn, several publications have reported that it is a girl.

On the work front, Priyanka has a series of projects in the making. Last seen in The Matrix Resurrections, she will be seen in Citadel with Richard Madden, a movie on Ma Aanand Sheela, Jee Le Zaraa, a movie with Mindy Kaling, a sangeet project for Amazon Prime Video with Nick, and Ending Things with Anthony Mackie.
