Paige Sandhu is a legend among Emmerdale fans thanks to her role as deranged Dales killer Meena Jutla.

And now she is starring in a new role, playing Indian royalty in an upcoming film, Lioness.

But it’s not just her latest role that’s got her fans interested in what Paige is up to.

Paige Sandhu in Emmerdale

Paige left Emmerdale in 2022 after Meena terrorised the village for two years.  Her alter-ego Ms Jutla became one of Emmerdale’s worst serial killers, murdering Leanna Cavanagh, Ben Tucker and Andrea Tate on-screen, and with the death of her friend Nadine and her own father on her conscience too.

Her camp, gleeful, over-the-top approach to the murders and her fondness for keeping souvenirs taken from the victims had the viewers gripped.

Meena finally got sent to jail, but fans often speculate that she could come back to the village one day.

What’s Paige been up to since leaving Emmerdale?

Since leaving Emmerdale, Paige has been busy.

She landed a starring role in an upcoming major film called Lioness.

The film follows two British-Punjabi women, across two time periods. The first is Sophia Duleep Singh, who is played by Paige.

Sophia was a Punjabi princess who grew up in London after her father was exiled to Britain. Sophia became one of the leading members of the Suffragettes, fighting for women’s rights.

The film also focuses on a married woman in the 1990s called Mehak, who is played by Aditi Rao Hydari.

What else has Paige been up to?

Paige has been hitting the gym hard and last year revealed she’d been following a new workout regime that had helped her become super-fit.

“I went into this process expecting to maybe get stronger and fitter but I definitely didn’t realise how much better my sleep would be, my energy levels would be and the feeling of accomplishment I have,” she shared on her Instagram stories. “Yay! I’m excited to see the continued improvements and the feeling of taking care of myself and my body is damn damn good.”

We definitely can’t argue with that!
