Actress-model Manushi Chhillar recently starred in Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh’s music video Kufar from his highly anticipated 2025 album Aura.

Sharing photos from Kufar on her Instagram handle, Manushi wrote on Wednesday, "Sometimes the most spontaneous moments turn into the most memorable ones.

Further, she added, "From learning the choreography in 6 hours to putting the costumes together in half a day, it was all such a whirlwind… and before I knew it, we were on set shooting! It was exhausting, exciting, and completely worth it, a reminder that sometimes you just have to trust the process (and the people who believe in you) and take the leap."

After the release of Kufar, Manushi was asked why her role had been ‘reduced to small dance appearances,’ to which she gave a befitting reply and said, "I've always admired people who value education. But I’ve also learnt that wisdom lies in respecting every form of art and expression. The world needs both thinkers and creators; neither is 'reduced' when they uplift others."
