Meet the beautiful girl playing Himmat Singh's daughter in Special Ops, she was in Kota Factory, Yeh Meri Family; Her name is…
Played by Revathi Pillai, Pari might have limited screen time, but her character triggers a twist that changes everything. A box full of secrets, a moment of confrontation, and a stunned daughter, her scene hits hard, especially when it ties so closely to Himmat's emotional core. Revathi Pillai on her journey
Off-screen, Revathi's story is quietly inspiring. In an interview with TellyChakkar, she recalled how she once lied to friends just to attend auditions. 'I told them I was going to a relative's wedding,' she laughed. What began with small lies is now a growing filmography.
'I'm no one. I'm nothing right now… I don't even know how I can call myself an actor. That title belongs to those who're seen on the big screen,' she said humbly. Why is she suddenly trending?
After Special Ops 2 dropped, Reddit threads and fan pages lit up, trying to find out who played Himmat Singh's daughter. Many were surprised to learn it was the same actor who played Vartika in Kota Factory.
Revathi, born on June 5, 2002, may be Malayali by roots, but she grew up in Maharashtra. At just 23, she has worked in Yeh Meri Family, The Interns, Jab We Matched, and even Malayalam cinema. She's already built a decent resume and over a million followers on Instagram. What was her family's take on acting?
Interestingly, acting wasn't always encouraged at home. Her father hoped she'd pursue a corporate career instead. 'He wanted me to act just as a hobby,' she revealed.
But Revathi followed her instincts, and her quiet persistence is paying off. About Pari's character
In Special Ops 2, Pari isn't just Himmat Singh's daughter; she's the narrative crack that lets emotion pour in. Her discovery changes the pace of the show, pulling the audience into Himmat's personal life in a way never seen before.

Lee Min Ho's Omniscient Reader: The Prophet live action slammed by fans for 'butchering' webtoon: 'It'll give you brain damage'
Omniscient Reader: The Prophet, the much-awaited live-action adaptation of the hit web novel Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, premiered in South Korea on July 23. Directed by Kim Byung-woo and based on the best-selling story by Sing Shong, the film stars a powerhouse cast, including Lee Min Ho, Ahn Hyo Seop, Chae Soo Bin, Shin Seung Ho, Nana, and BLACKPINK's Jisoo. With a fan-favourite story and some of the industry's most popular names attached, many hoped this would finally be the live-action adaptation that did justice to the source material. Unfortunately, early viewer reactions, particularly from the fans of the webtoon, suggest otherwise. What is Omniscient Reader: The Prophet about? The film follows Kim Dokja (played by Lee Min Ho), a seemingly ordinary man who finds himself living inside the world of a web novel he's been reading for years. In a world where readers become players and scenarios determine survival, Dokja must use his knowledge of the novel to outsmart deadly challenges and navigate a universe controlled by godlike constellations. It's a story of survival, fate, and morality, packed with twists and layered characters. On paper, it sounds like a thrilling cinematic experience. But fans of the original material are feeling let down by how it was adapted for the big screen. Fans of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint react: They butchered it (Spoilers Ahead!) The film's release triggered a flood of reactions online, especially from long-time readers of the original web novel. The Reddit community dedicated to Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint has now become a space where fans are voicing their frustration, disappointment, and confusion over the film's many unexpected changes. One Reddit user wrote a detailed review of the live adaptation, writing, 'They butchered it. So bad it will give you brain damage from watching it. All your fears about live action? Justified.' The user also pointed out major character shifts. Dokja, originally portrayed as cunning and morally grey, is now just a 'nice guy.' His manipulative streak, a key part of his arc, is completely erased. The list of missing elements from the source material is long, as shared by the fan, who said, no omniscient reader's viewpoint ability, no fourth wall, and no bookmark skill. They also noticed missing characters and lore, oversimplified plotlines, and a final boss battle that felt completely off-tone. 'I don't think the director even read the source material,' the viewer wrote. 'He missed the point and somehow turned the central theme into teamwork.' Another Redditor said, 'They made it extremely short, ending it by the third scenario. I expected at least the Theatre Dungeon. This isn't it.' Multiple viewers expressed their frustration at the film ignoring iconic moments, changing character dynamics, and turning deep lore into a more surface-level fantasy flick. Some even questioned how much of the original story was actually read by the creators. Global release dates for Omniscient Reader: The Prophet Despite the backlash, the movie is now on track for international rollouts. Here's when you can catch Omniscient Reader: The Prophet in your country: July 30 – Indonesia July 31 – Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand August 1 – United States, Canada, Vietnam If you're planning to watch, you may want to go in with lowered expectations, especially if you're a long-time fan of the web novel. While the visuals and cast performances might be worth the watch, just be prepared for a version of Omniscient Reader that takes its own path.
