Janhvi plays a conniving diplomat in Ulajh

The teaser begins with Suhana aka Janhvi jogging and later cuts to her character interacting with foreign officials. A voiceover is heard, “Suhana, do you really think that whatever you did was meant for your country? Betrayal, loyalty are mere words where people like us get trapped. These nations, borders are just lines drawn in the sand. They are not worth anything.” The 56-seconds tease ends with Janhvi's voiceover as she says, “The cost of betrayal is life. Either sacrifice yourself or take someone else's life.” Apart from showing her graceful and elegant side while meeting diplomats, Suhana is also depicted as a conniving spy. From killing enemies to honey-trapping adversaries, she is willing to go the forbidden path for her nation.
