There has been a lot of speculation around Lokhande's Bollywood debut ever since she quit the hit TV show. Several offers came her way but Lokhande decided to wait patiently for her big break. In Manikarnika, Lokhande would be seen playing the character of Jhalkari Bai, a women soldier who rises up to ranks of an advisor to Queen of Jhansi.
