Emmerdale star Paige Sandhu looks worlds away from serial killer Meena Jutla in stunning snaps
Emmerdale favourite Paige Sandhu looked strikingly different to her famous alter ego Meena Jutla in a recent snap.
Emmerdale star Paige Sandhu, who played notorious serial killer Meena Jutla, looked worlds away from her evil on-screen persona in a series of stunning snaps that she has shared on Instagram.
In the three pictures, Paige was all glammed up for a night out in a strapless sparkly dress with a long train, complete with high heels and chic hair and makeup.

Fans are used to seeing the TV star as the less glamorous killer nurse, Meena who was given a 75 year prison sentence last month for her catalogue of horrific crimes.
After her explosive exit, Emmerdale shared Paige’s touching farewell message to the soap on their social media accounts.
“She’s finally gone down. Who knew?” she laughed at the start of the video. “I just want to say thank you all for all of your support. Thank you to everyone at Emmerdale and ITV and all my beautiful actors and the crew. You’re all amazing.
“You’ve made this experience just the best of my life, and I will treasure these moments forever. And a big thank you, especially to Rebecca Sarker, my on-screen sister, but also a sister in my heart. I love you so much. Bye, everyone!”
Since her soap departure, we could be seeing her in sparkly dresses more often as the Emmerdale favourite has been tipped to join Strictly Come Dancing.
