Dhurandhar The Revenge: ‘Jaskirat’ Ranveer Singh’s On Screen Sister ‘Harleen’ Hitika Bali Reveals Why He Became Hamza Ali Mazari

There’s a moment early in Dhurandhar The Revenge that lingers long after the scene ends. A quiet, tender snapshot of a family before everything falls apart. A neatly dressed, bright-eyed Jaskirat Singh Rangi, played by Ranveer Singh, poses with his parents and two sisters, unaware of the tragedy that will soon reshape his life. The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, traces his haunting transformation into the brooding Hamza Ali Mazari. And it’s this emotional backstory that has struck a chord with audiences.

(Spoiler alert!) Among the most heartbreaking elements of the film’s opening is the fate of his elder sister, Harleen Rangi—the very character whose death becomes one of the catalysts for Jaskirat’s descent into violence. Young actress Hitika Bali, who plays Harleen, recently shared an emotional note reflecting on her experience of working with Ranveer and the overwhelming response to her character. Her post quickly gained traction online as fans connected deeply with the film’s tragic beginnings.

Hitika plays Harleen Rangi, one of Jaskirat’s sisters, in Dhurandhar 2. The film begins with some heartbreaking moments that explain why Ranveer’s character chooses violence to protect his family. “Since everybody is posting ‘Why Jaskirat Became Hamza?’ Phir mera bhi post krna banta hai (I decided I should post too),” wrote Hitika, posting pictures of her and Ranveer that many have shared on social media.

Praising Ranveer, she added that while he was ‘amazing’ as Hamza, her favourite was Harleen and Jasleen’s brother Jaskirat. She added, “I genuinely can’t get over the little details and mannerisms you brought to the role and in this shot while u were constantly make me laugh with that tie-samosa joke.”

She then thanked the audience for showing empathy towards the fate of her character, Harleen, writing, “Also, the amount of love and empathy you all have shown towards my character Harleen Rangi and the story is honestly overwhelming in the best way possible. And the kind of support I’m receiving is just crazy.”

Ending her note on a lighter note, Hitika also shared a humorous anecdote involving a viral image edited using Grok, where she and Ranveer’s outfits were swapped. “I’m loving all the comments, messages, and posts you’ve been sharing. But I have to say the third slide that a friend sent me? I was like WTH, lol but it’s been living rent free in my mind ever since,” she wrote, referring to the picture that was sent to her, that features her in Shirt and tie look and Ranveer in a saree.
