This unexpected appearance has sparked surprise and curiosity among fans, who question the actress&#8217;s career trajectory from viral sensation to blending into crowd scenes. The film itself has received mixed reviews. Priya Prakash Varrier, once a nationwide sensation for her viral wink in Oru Adaar Love, has unexpectedly resurfaced in Bollywood \u2014 but not in the way fans imagined. The actress recently appeared in <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/sidharth-malhotra\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sidharth Malhotra<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/janhvi-kapoor\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Janhvi Kapoor<\/a>\u2019s rom-com Param Sundari, not as a lead, but as a background extra, leaving audiences stunned and questioning her choice.<\/p>\n<p>Fans spot Priya in crowd scene<\/p>\n<p>A video doing the rounds on social media shows Priya in a red and white saree, quietly blending into the crowd behind Sidharth in a scene.

I thought only I noticed, but I&#8217;m glad someone at least did.&#8217; Another one added, &#8216;Editing can be ruthless, and character cuts are common. Only the bitter take pleasure in someone else&#8217;s bad phase.&#8217; One user also wrote, &#8216;She deserves better. From viral sensation to background?&#8217;One commeted, &#8216;She would have been better for taking up Janhvi Kapoor&#8217;s role.&#8217; Another one agreed, &#8216;Should\u2019ve cast her instead of Janhvi&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Param Sundari\u2019s mixed reception<\/p>\n<p>Param Sundari revolves around the cross-cultural romance between the two leads, one from Delhi and the other from Kerala.
