Party Animals: Naqiyah Haji Calls Sakshi Her Spirit Animal

The makers of Party Animals have unveiled yet another promo, this time offering a glimpse into Sakshi, played by Naqiyah Haji, whose idea of a good time is as unconventional as her personality. A spirited, carefree girl who ironically hates partying but believes in living in the moment and making the most of every opportunity to have fun. Unapologetically herself, she brings her own energy to every situation, embracing life on her own terms and making every moment count.

But when a night out spirals into unexpected twists, romantic complications and absolute madness, even the best-laid plans can go off-script. Set against a New Year’s Eve celebration that gets increasingly chaotic, Party Animals throws Sakshi and the rest of the gang into a whirlwind where nothing goes quite as planned. After all, the best nights rarely come with a plan, and the wildest ones definitely don’t come with a user manual!

Talking about her character, Naqiyah Haji says, “Sakshi is currently my spirit animal! I love how unfiltered she is and how she’s always on the go, even though she ironically hates partying. There’s something so charming about the way she does her own thing and brings her own energy to every situation. Playing her was a lot of fun because she’s spontaneous, unpredictable and unapologetically herself. Sakshi is savage, relatable and an absolute treat to watch!”
