Pooja Gor on playing Sandhya in 'Looteri Dulhan': She's fighting for her own identity
Mumbai, May 19
Actress Pooja Gor will be seen as a cop in the upcoming web series "Looteri Dulhan".
She has been roped in to essay the character of Sub-Inspector Sandhya Yadav, a fearless and determined officer navigating a bizarre crime wave that has shaken Madhya Pradesh.
Sandhya is investigating a series of mysterious cases where brides loot their grooms and disappear overnight.
Shedding further light on her character, Pooja said that she was drawn to the emotional depth of Sandhya.
Pooja shared, "What attracted me to 'Looteri Dulhan' was how emotionally layered Sandhya is. She is strong and fearless on the outside, but internally she's constantly battling judgment, expectations, and the pressure to prove herself. She isn't just solving a case, she's fighting for her own identity in a world that constantly tries to define women in limited ways."
She further added, "The dynamic between Sandhya and Maya is what makes the story so gripping. They stand on opposite sides of the law, but both are shaped by survival and patriarchy in different ways. As an actor, it was exciting to explore a character who is ambitious, vulnerable, obsessive, and empathetic all at once. Sandhya's journey is intense, emotional, and deeply human."
Directed by Glen Barretto and Ankush Mohla, "Looteri Dulhan" is slated to premiere on Hungama OTT on 19th May this year.
Accompanying Pooja, the project will also see Sanvikaa, Manmohan Tiwari, and Rajeev Pandey in crucial roles, along with others.
The 'Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya' actress dropped the captivating trailer of the show on social media with the caption, "Kahaani mein twist!!! Har missing dulhan ke peeche ek naya jhoot chhupa hai...
Aur main uss sach ke bahut kareeb hoon...Dekhiye mera naya show "Looteri Dulhan" sirf Hungama OTT par (sic)".
Meanwhile, Pooja was recently seen in Saqib Saleem-led crime drama, "Kaptaan".

Loved Pooja in Pratigya, and now she's playing a strong female cop? Sign me up! The bride-looting angle is intriguing, and the fact that she's investigating cases where women are both victims and perpetrators adds so much depth. Just hope they don't turn it into another saas-bahu drama on OTT.
Interesting premise, but let's be real - OTT is getting cluttered with thriller-crime dramas. Hope 'Looteri Dulhan' brings something new to the table. The dynamic between Sandhya and Maya sounds promising, though. Will give it a watch for Pooja Gor's performance.
As someone from MP, I'm curious how they'll portray our state. The idea of brides running away after looting grooms feels like a modern twist on old legends. What really excites me is how Pooja describes Sandhya as someone fighting patriarchy while being a cop - that's the kind of complex storytelling we need. 👏
Pooja Gor deserves more recognition. She's been in the industry for so long and always delivers. The trailer looked gripping, and that caption "Har missing dulhan ke peeche ek naya jhoot chhupa hai" is absolutely catchy. 🎬 Just worried about the release timing - so many shows coming out in May.
Finally a show where a woman is fighting for her identity while solving crimes! This is not just entertainment but also social commentary. The idea of brides looting grooms flips the dowry narrative in a thought-provoking way. Hope they handle the patriarchy theme with sensitivity
