While SRK still looks the same, perhaps better, it’s interesting to note what happened to the Chak De girls who once held the hopes of Bollywood.

These young girls showed a lot of promise and we instantly fell in love with their raw yet heartfelt performances. However, there was one character among them who was loved a tad bit more because of her innocence, honesty and obviously badass Haryanvi accent!

Yes, Chitrashi Rawat, the actress who played Komal Chautala, the little dynamite from Haryana stood her own among the host of other girls who were not new to facing the camera. And the confidence with which she pulled off the role made her the most loved of the entire star cast of the movie.

While most of the girls turned out to be one-time wonders, Chitrashi stuck around albeit falling prey to the great Bollywood stereotype. What followed were a slew of roles in movies which either showed her as a badass or Haryanvi.

Some of the prominent roles she landed during the phase:

This is how Chitrashi Rawat looks like these days:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yep, she’s travelling the world and definitely setting our souls on fire!
