The third part of Anurag Basu’s musical Aashiqui will be headlined by karthik Aaryan and if recent reports are to be believed, the makers have finalised the leading lady of the film too. Reportedly, akanksha Sharma is likely to be finalised for the film. “Akanksha has had multiple meetings with the makers of the film and there is a possibility that things might get locked,” a source cited by E-Times claimed.

“Akanksha is a fresh new face and makers of ‘Aashiqui’ have always looked out for fresh pairings; be it rahul roy and Anu Agarwal or Shraddha Kapoor and aditya roy kapur," the insider added.

Akanksha Sharma has predominantly worked in the kannada industry. She also shared the screen space with tiger shroff earlier for the music video ‘Disco 82’.
