After receiving an overwhelmingly positive public response for her iconic performance in Dangal, Suhani was featured in a number of TV advertisements in the next few years. However, the actress later decided to solely focus on her studies & halted her acting career temporarily for the same. According to some reports, Suhani also wanted to step back into the film industry after completing her education but to her misfortune, destiny had some different plans for her.
Notably, unlike most Gen Z actresses, Suhani was also not active on her social media profiles for the last 2 years. In her last Instagram post, which dates all the way back to November 25, 2021, the Dangal girl dropped her 4 sun-kissed pictures and wrote “November ?” in the caption.
