Vanessa posted Sanya's video with the caption, “A nice colour update, finished with precision and shine. Clean, polished and effortlessly graceful on Sanya Malhotra #neutralbrowns.”

The actor is rarely seen in straight locks. Therefore, this new look comes as a fresh and pleasent surprise. Her new 'do features straightened tresses in a classy brown shade, accentuated with layers, a fresh below-the-shoulder cut, a side parting, and a chin-length, layered cut on the front to beautifully frame her face.

For the occasion, Sanya dressed in a simple red ensemble featuring an open Mandarin collar, front button closures, quarter-length sleeves, and a body-skimming fit.

She styled the ensemble with a beaded bracelet and dainty dangling gold earrings. Lastly, for the glam, Sanya opted for a minimal look featuring darkened brows, rouge-tinted cheeks, glossy pink lips, and a dewy base.

Workwise, Sanya Malhotra was last seen in the rom-com Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, alongside Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Rohit Saraf.
