Ramayana Actor Ravie Dubey Celebrates 'Queen' Sargun Mehta's 10 Years In Punjabi Cinema
Last Updated: Sargun Mehta marked 10 years in Punjabi cinema, transforming it with hits like Angrej and Qismat. Her husband Ravie Dubey called her the 'Queen' of Punjabi industry for her vision. Actor Sargun Mehta has completed 10 years in Punjabi cinema — a decade that has not only redefined success but also reshaped the very foundation of the regional industry. Marking the occasion, her husband and creative partner, actor Ravie Dubey, who plays Laxman in Ranbir Kapoor-led Ramayana, shared a deeply moving note on social media, calling her the 'Queen of Punjabi Industry" and crediting her vision for building a creative ecosystem in Punjab. 'The Queen Sargun Mehta completes 10 glorious years in Punjabi cinema. But she didn't stop at being an actor, she went far, far beyond that," Ravie wrote, expressing pride in her transformative contributions both on and off screen. Sargun's journey began after a successful stint in Hindi television with shows like 12/24 Karol Bagh and Balika Vadhu. In 2015, she took a bold leap into Punjabi cinema with Angrej, which went on to become a major box office success. Since then, her filmography has been marked by critically acclaimed and commercially successful projects including Qismat, Love Punjab, Lahoriye, Qismat 2, Jind Mahi, Saunkan Saunkne, and this year's blockbuster hits Saunkan Saunkanay 2 and Sarbala Ji. But Sargun's impact goes beyond her on-screen presence. In 2021, she co-founded Dreamiyata Entertainment with Ravie Dubey, becoming the first actress to produce Punjabi-language television content for a national channel. Their show Udaariyaan, aired on Colors TV, became a long-running success and set a precedent for regional storytelling on mainstream platforms. 'She has built an unprecedented ecosystem for the Indian television industry right here in Punjab," Ravie wrote. 'For the past five years, hundreds of people have been working, creating, thriving — because of one woman's vision, faith, and relentless prayers." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ravie Dubey (@ravidubey2312) 'She has Maa Annapurna's blessings. Wherever Sargun steps, that place begins to prosper. My life included," Ravie added, concluding his post with a heartfelt message: 'I'm the luckiest man alive — to be her partner in life, both personally and professionally. May God bless you always, my darling. This is just the beginning." An overwhelmed Sargun wrote in the comment box, 'You celebrate me like no other… I am queen only because I am your queen my king." As Sarbala Ji continues its successful theatrical run and Saunkan Saunkanay 2 stands as the biggest Punjabi hit of the year, Sargun Mehta's legacy only grows stronger. view comments First Published: July 31, 2025, 21:39 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Speaking to Cyrus Broacha, director Vasan Bala opened up about how the film's failure affected him. 'The Jigra box office was a sucker punch. It really knocks you out, and I'm still waking up,' he said. Despite the setback, Vasan shared that he's moving forward and working on new scripts. He added, "I am happy with the film, absolutely. I had a great time working with the crew, and I had a great time working with Alia. She's an incredible actress, she has an incredible work ethic and vision. She spoils you.' Reflecting on the unpredictability of the industry, Vasan said that many successful people are those who work tirelessly all year, even while being unsure. When asked if he could adopt that mindset after 'Jigra', he admitted, 'No, I can't after Jigra's box office. I can't. I thought I could, I was gearing up for that. You appreciate success more this way—when you don't have it. But not as much when you're trying to buy houses.
