Having an invincible run at the box office, KGF: Chapter 2 has already registered itself amongst the highest grossing Indian movies of all time and gone down to create history. It wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of the whole team, and especially the actors.
While Rocking Star Yash was definitely the one grabbing all the attention, the actress in his mother’s role too gave a strong and memorable performance. Despite being one of the most important characters in the KGF franchise, not many people know about the actor who played the role.
It was played by the South Indian actress, Archana Jois. She is just 27 and is a trained Kathak dancer. The dance enthusiast has performed at various stage shows and been a part of many dance reality shows. Her Instagram profile is flooded with pictures of her in her dancing form.
