Aahana to make her podcast debut

Actor Aahana Kumra is all set to make her podcast debut. She will narrate a story on the audio web series titled MnM Talkies.

“I have recently started working on this podcast, which is produced and directed by Mantra,” said Aahana, about the audio story called I Hear You, which tells the story of a detective named Priyamvada Parmar.

“I am entering the voicing industry and I think Mantra is the best person to hold my hand through this. Am excited to enter the new phase of my life. This is a new chapter and I am happy to begin 2021 with this,” she added.

‘I have had a lot of second seasons this year. It's been interesting to revisit them and experience how they might have changed as people. Reprising a character for a new season is like meeting an old friend — you basically know them and understand how they are wired, but they are not exactly who they were when you met them last.’
