Tinaa Dattaa Is Back with Her Most Layered Role Yet in Hungama OTT’s ‘Personal Trainer 2’

Hungama OTT is all set to raise the temperature with its hit original series Personal Trainer 2, releasing on 18th June 2026. Featuring Tinaa Dattaa in a compelling new role as Neha Malhotra, and also starring Akanksha Puri, Poonam Pandey and Rrahul Sudhir in pivotal roles, the series returns to the gleaming, high-stakes world of Mumbai’s most elite gym, where ambition, desire and dangerous power games play out behind polished mirrors and sculpted bodies.

Personal Trainer 2 unfolds at one of Mumbai’s most exclusive fitness spaces, where celebrities, influencers and the city’s wealthy elite come to sweat in secrecy. But beneath the surface of this world of ambition lies a far darker arena,  where seduction becomes strategy, betrayal lurks around every corner and desire pushes boundaries beyond control. Loyalties shift, alliances crack and the stakes grow dangerously high. In this world, true strength has nothing to do with muscle, it is about manipulation, survival and knowing exactly when to strike.

Sharing her excitement about the role, Tinaa Dattaa says, “In my real life, I have always been into fitness, whether it’s yoga, gym workouts or Pilates. So when I heard about Neha Malhotra, I instantly connected with her. But she is far more than just a fitness enthusiast, she is a woman of many faces and layers, and what I love most is how those layers slowly unravel as the series progresses. Audiences will get to see a side of me they have simply not seen before. Personally, I was really impressed with the story of Season 1 and when the makers approached me for Season 2, I didn’t take a second to say yes. The way my character evolves throughout the show is truly amazing. Working with Akanksha Puri was wonderful, she is also very passionate about fitness and we shared many fitness tips on set. It was also great working with Rrahul Sudhir, he is a fantastic actor and brought a lot of depth to our scenes together. I’m sure audiences will love Personal Trainer 2 as well.”

Personal Trainer 2 premieres on Hungama OTT from 18th June 2026.

Toral Rasputra on her preparation for Sony SAB’s Hastinapur Ke Veer

Mumbai, May 28 : Sony SAB’s Hastinapur Ke Veer promises to bring audiences a fresh and emotional telling of the early years of the Mahabharat, exploring the relationships, values and experiences that shaped some of mythology’s most iconic characters. One such character is Kunti (Toral Rasputra), a woman remembered not just as the mother of the Pandavas, but also as a symbol of strength, sacrifice, and resilience through every challenge life threw at her.

Known for portraying powerful women on screen, Toral approached Kunti not just as a mythological figure, but as a mother navigating impossible circumstances with dignity and strength. To prepare for the role, the actress immersed herself in literature and references around the character. She read books like Teachings of Queen Kunti, The Kaunteyas – Queen Kunti’s Mahabharata and Kunti by Koral Dasgupta to explore different perspectives on the character. Through these readings, Toral discovered the many layers of Kunti, not just as a mother to the Pandavas, but also as a woman constantly balancing duty, sacrifice, guilt, courage and unconditional love. The actress shares that every author portrayed Kunti differently, which inspired her to create her own interpretation of the character for the screen, one that feels emotionally authentic and strong.

Talking about her interpretation of Kunti, Toral Rasputra shared,

“Kunti is such a powerful and emotionally layered character that I knew I wanted to understand her beyond what’s written in the script. I read books on Kunti and each of them gave me a different insight into her personality and journey. What fascinated me most was how every version presented her strength, sacrifices and emotional conflicts in such unique ways. As an actor, it pushed me to think deeper and eventually create my own interpretation of Kunti, a woman who is strong yet sensitive, wise yet emotional. I wanted to portray her in a way that audiences can connect with not just as a queen or a mother, but as a woman whose struggles and resilience still feel relevant today.”

In the upcoming episodes, the Bapodara chawl is busy celebrating Rashi’s (Akshaya Hindalkar) godh bharai, with the family coming together to make the occasion special. But amid the festivities, danger quietly finds its way into the celebration. Wanting to take revenge on Dilip Patel (Jayesh More), Santosh plans to hurt him through Rashi. In a shocking turn of events, the ceremonial crown meant for Rashi is poisoned. However, before Rashi can wear it, Shanaya unknowingly puts it on while trying to help, turning a happy celebration into a moment of fear and panic for the entire family.

Will Shanaya survive this shocking accident?

Muskan Bamne, who plays the role of Shanaya, shares,

“Shanaya just wanted to help and had no idea what she was walking into. This sequence was quite intense to shoot because everything changes within moments for Shanaya and the entire chawl. One moment everyone is celebrating together, and the next moment there is panic and chaos everywhere. I think life can change in a moment, when happiness suddenly turns into something completely unexpected. It made these episodes emotionally very powerful to perform.”
