The Hindi film industry has seen many rising stars, but few have made an impression as quickly as Actor Viraj Mundkar. With his latest role in Arati Kadav’s Mrs., now streaming on Zee5, Viraj is proving his mettle as an actor to watch. The film, which premiered on February 7, 2025, has already set records as Zee5’s biggest opening and the most searched film on Google.

That made the experience even more exciting because I was creating something fresh.” His performance has been praised for its authenticity, adding emotional weight to the film’s already powerful narrative.
