She has recently been in the spotlight for her role in Band of Maharajas, which has now made it into the 2025 Oscars Best Picture Reminder List.
Alankrita said: “Immensely grateful to the Academy, the audience and everyone for their love and support towards our film.
“This is once again a testimony of the fact that good quality work always shines sooner or later.
“When we heard the news last year that our film is in the race for Oscars from India, we were immensely happy.

Not one to disappoint her fans, Alankrita Sahai shared some never-before-seen photos from the film’s set.
These intimate BTS moments showcase the actress in a completely different light—one that contrasts sharply with her real-life persona.
Alankrita’s character, Simran, in Band of Maharajas is completely different from her natural, off-screen self, which is precisely what has sparked so much intrigue about these recently shared photos.
She shared her passion for portraying different characters that allow her to delve into various aspects of human emotions and experiences.
Alankrita explained: “These pictures are priceless to me.
“I see myself in different avatars, as I’m open to playing roles that are challenging and exciting.
“The role of Simran, Girish sir visualised me in that.
“A lot of people sometimes may struggle to see me a certain way as an artist or character.”
“Hats off to him for believing in me and having that conviction that I can pull it off.”
Directed by Girish Malik, Band of Maharajas centres on a diverse group of musicians who unite to create a harmonious symphony that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries.
