Shreya Dhanwanthary, reprises her role as news anchor Mansi Irani, in the recently released season 2 of Mumbai Diaries. The character has come a long way since the first season — from being the first to break the story to now reporting true facts for viewers.

Talking about how Mansi is way different from who she is in real life, Shreya says, “There is nothing in common between Mansi and Shreya, because I am attracted to characters that I have absolutely nothing in common with. There are some really cool things she does, for instance, her ability to take the bull by the horns.”

“I wish I had some of her admirable qualities, like her tenacity, her perseverance and her grit,” she adds.

Apart from Shreya, the Prime Video series also features Konkona Sen Sharma, Mohit Raina, Natasha Bharadwaj, Satyajeet Dubey, Mrunmayee Deshpande, Tina Desai, Parambrata Chattopadhyay, Ridhi Dogra and Prakash Belawadi in pivotal roles.

The series, created by Nikkhil Advani, this time is set around the backdrop of the 2005 Mumbai floods. It started streaming on October 6.
