Sharvari Wagh spent years on the other side of the camera before anyone knew her name, working as an assistant director on Bajirao Mastani and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety while she waited for her own break. That patience paid off slowly, then all at once. A promising debut in 2021 was followed by a genuine quiet period, until 2024’s Munjya turned her into one of the biggest new names in Hindi cinema in the space of a single summer. Two years later, she’s the co-lead of Alpha, the first female-fronted film in Yash Raj Films’ spy universe.

Who Is Sharvari Wagh?
Sharvari Wagh is an Indian actress who works in Hindi cinema, credited mononymously as Sharvari in her recent films. She began her career behind the camera as an assistant director before moving in front of it, and has built her name through a mix of streaming work, a Yash Raj Films debut, and a genre-defining horror comedy that made her a star.
Early Life and Background
Wagh was born on 14 June 1997 in Mumbai to a Marathi family. Her father, Shailesh Wagh, works in real estate and construction, and her mother, Namrata Wagh, is an architect. Her maternal grandfather was Manohar Joshi, the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra and a senior Shiv Sena leader. She has a younger brother, Arnav, and a sister, Kasturi, who also works as an architect.
She studied at Dadar Parsee Youths Assembly High School and Ruparel College in Mumbai, and began modelling as a teenager, winning the Clean and Clear Fresh Face contest while still in college.
Career
Before she acted in anything, Wagh worked as an assistant director on Luv Ranjan’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani, and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, learning the filmmaking process from the crew side. Her acting debut came in 2020 with Kabir Khan’s war drama series The Forgotten Army, Azaadi Ke Liye on Amazon Prime Video.
Her feature film debut followed in 2021 with Yash Raj Films’ Bunty Aur Babli 2, alongside Rani Mukerji, Saif Ali Khan and Siddhant Chaturvedi, which won her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut and the IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year, Female.
Major Work and Notable Projects
After her debut, Wagh’s next few years were relatively quiet by Bollywood standards, until 2024 changed that in one stretch. Munjya, a horror comedy based on a Maharashtrian folk tale and produced under Maddock’s horror universe, became a genuine box office hit, earning around 132 crore rupees against a 30 crore budget. The same year, she took a special appearance role in Maharaj, delayed for years before its eventual Netflix release, and played the title role in the action drama Vedaa opposite John Abraham, which drew mixed reviews but expanded her range.
Current Projects and Latest Updates
Wagh’s biggest project to date is Alpha, Yash Raj Films’ first female-led entry in its spy universe, in which she plays Durga Kaul, the twin sister of Alia Bhatt’s character, opposite Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol. The film had a delayed release, pushed from December 2025 to April 2026 for extensive VFX work, and while it had a muted theatrical run, it has since found traction on Netflix, appearing on the platform’s global non-English films chart.
She also headlined Imtiaz Ali’s romantic drama Main Vaapas Aaunga in 2026, opposite Vedang Raina and Diljit Dosanjh, for which she received widely positive notice for her performance, and won a Jury Choice Best Actress award for Munjya. She is next attached to an untitled 2027 film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.
