Every Akanksha Puri Web Series, Explained
1. Lipstic (2026) – Atrangii
Her newest project is also her most intriguing premise. In Lipstic, a woman named Madhuri discovers a mysterious red lipstick that makes any woman irresistible to men, but the magic comes with a chilling price. The official teaser landed on November 8, 2026, crediting Akanksha alongside Gaurav Sharma and Shreyaa Biswas. It’s expected on the Atrangii app around November 13, 2026, though Atrangii hasn’t yet said who plays which character.
2. Rose Garden (2025) – Hungama OTT
Rose Garden is the one fans tend to bring up when they talk about Akanksha stretching herself. Set in a Punjabi village, it follows a mother whose unconventional teachings shape her two daughters, in a story of love, secrets and betrayal that passes down the generations. Akanksha plays Geet, the fierce, rebellious youngest sister, a role that had her driving a tractor and a truck and working on a rose farm. Maninee De, Niyatii Fatnani and Neel Samarthh co-star.
3. Shringarika (2024–25) – Atrangii
Before Lipstic, Akanksha had already worked with Atrangii on Shringarika, a lavish period drama directed by Manmeet Singh Sodhi. She plays Abha opposite Vishal Kotian, in an ensemble that also includes Sadiya Khan, Varsha Sharma and Sherleen Dutt. If you liked her in a costume drama on TV, this is the closest OTT equivalent.
4. Dons & Darlings (2024–25) – ALTT
This crime-and-passion drama on ALTT gave her one of her darkest characters. Akanksha plays Naaz, the daughter of a powerful drug lord, whose father is killed by her own husband. Stuck in a loveless marriage, Naaz is caught between betrayal, grief and a search for affection.
5. Inspector Avinash (2023) – JioCinema
Her highest-profile OTT appearance came in Inspector Avinash, the cop drama led by Randeep Hooda. Akanksha plays Meetu Punjaban, and her scenes with Hooda were a big talking point when the show premiered.
6. Honey Trap Squad (2023)
In this spy thriller, Akanksha plays Riya Roy, one of a secret team of female agents who go undercover to take down a counterfeit-money racket, opposite Karanvir Bohra. Our Honey Trap Squad cast and episode guide has the full breakdown, including where to stream it.
Who Is Akanksha Puri?
Akanksha Puri was born in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, in 1988. Before acting, she worked as international cabin crew with Kingfisher Airlines and picked up modelling jobs along the way. That led to her film debut in the Tamil action comedy Alex Pandian (2013), followed by Malayalam films like Praise the Lord and her Hindi debut in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Calendar Girls (2015).
