The trailer for Citadel: Honey Bunny, featuring Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, has been released today, October 15. This series serves as the Indian adaptation of the American Citadel, which stars Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden. The Indian version is helmed by director duo Raj and DK. It will have its global premiere on November 7 on Prime Videos. As the trailer launch event was a hit, it was the young actress portraying Priyanka Chopra’s character in her childhood that captured everyone’s hearts.

Who is rising child artist Kashvi Majmundar?

Citadel: Honey Bunny presents the backdrop origin of Priyanka Chopra's character, showcasing her childhood, with little actress Kashvi Majmundar portraying the younger version. At just nine years old, Kashvi has gained fame as a viral dance sensation, actor, and influencer and is now making her debut in Raj & DK's series.

Little Kashvi Majmundar was born in Australia and relocated to the UAE last year after her father accepted a job in the region. She quickly becomes popular with her dance talent in the area. Although not a formally trained dancer, she began dancing at the age of one. In 2022, a video her mother shared on Instagram helped her gain recognition at the IIFA awards. 

Her performance of Nora Fatehi’s Naach Meri Raani captured widespread attention in Bollywood. Kashvi was the first grader from Raffles World Academy and was selected among many aspiring dancers after participating in actress Fatehi's #DanceWithNora contest.

Rose to fame from IIFA

The 7-year-old girl with no connections in the Bollywood industry seized the opportunity to perform alongside Nora on the IIFA stage with her impressive dance moves. Her performance quickly captured the attention of A-listers like Aishwarya Rai, Shahid Kapoor, Ananya Panday, and Divya Khosla Kumar. Following this, Kashvi moved to Mumbai with her mother. She also danced at Expo 2020 when the RRR team, including Ram Charan and director SS Rajamouli, visited and interacted with her.

This 9-year-old drama queen, based in the UAE, is now making her mark on the big screen with her undeniable charm, debuting in a big star movie.
