Hours after leading Karnataka to the title in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on Sunday, India batsman Manish Pandey headed to Mumbai to get married to Ashrita Shetty. 26-year-old Ashrita is an actress in southern films, who made her debut in the 2012 Tulu film, “Telikada Bolli”.
Manish in fact made the news known at the post-match presentation ceremony on Sunday when he said that ahead of the test that awaits in the limited-overs series against West Indies, he had the marriage test on Monday.
“Looking forward to the India series, but before that there is another important series for me, I am getting married tomorrow,” he smiled.
Manish played a key role in the final against Tamil Nadu and hit a 45-ball 60 to help Karnataka post 180. Tamil Nadu fell 1 run short in the chase.
As for Ashrita, she has worked in four other films over the past seven years – “Udhayam NH4”, “Oru Kanniyum Moonu Kalavaanikalum”, “Indrajith” and the unreleased “Naan Than Shiva”.
Before her film debut, Ashrita participated in a beauty contest aimed at selecting a fresh face for a cosmetic care brand in 2010. She won the contest, which opened up doors for a stint in TV commercials.
Around this time, she was signed up to play a lead role in Manimaran’s 2013 Tamil romantic thriller “Udhayam NH4”, opposite Siddharth. The film featured Kay Kay Menon in a pivotal role.
She was last seen in the 2017 Tamil action drama “Indrajith” that had Gautam Karthik in the title role.

Jailer 2 Cameo Buzz: Mohanlal Return Rumors
Speculation around the highly anticipated sequel Jailer 2 continues to grow, with fresh buzz emerging about a major cameo that has been the talk of the industry for months. Earlier, reports suggested that big names like Nandamuri Balakrishna and Shah Rukh Khan were being considered, which had already sparked massive excitement among fans.
However, latest industry chatter indicates a different direction. It is now being reported that director Nelson Dilipkumar has already completed shooting a key cameo sequence, and the actor involved is none other than Mohanlal.
Mohanlal, who delivered a powerful cameo in the first Jailer, left a strong impact despite limited screen time. His return in the sequel adds an interesting layer of curiosity, especially regarding how his character will be placed this time.
The biggest talking point is the repetition factor—whether bringing Mohanlal back for another cameo will feel familiar or whether Nelson will cleverly use it to add a surprising narrative twist. Known for his unpredictable storytelling style, Nelson is expected to use this decision with a deeper purpose rather than just fan service.
Fans are now eagerly waiting to see whether this cameo expands Mohanlal’s role further, connects crucial story elements, or introduces an entirely new dimension to the Jailer universe. Either way, the excitement surrounding Jailer 2 has only intensified.
