The Harry Potter movies depicted her as Padma Patil, one of the Indian twins in Hogwarts, and in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," she was the girl who did not please Ron Weasley during the Yule Ball.
Now, 27-year-old Afshan Azad, the actress behind Padma Patil in the Harry Potter movies, is now a stunning Bollywood beauty. Her recent photos online made the Internet world gasp as she joins the ranks of South Indian actresses whose faces launched a thousand reels.
Padma Patil, the twin sister of Parvati, entered Hogwarts and was sorted into Ravenclaw in the same year as Harry Potter. This is what the actress looked like before in one of the Harry Potter movies.
So it turns out after Hogwarts Padma Patil went on to modelling, and you can see why... https://t.co/Fi4JQneqzg pic.twitter.com/NWUJMY4Mc0

Azad is an actress born in Manchester, U.K. and is of Bangladeshi descent. Her IMDb.com profile said the film career of the actress behind Padma Patil concentrated on the Harry Potter movies and was never followed through. She may not have become successful in the movie industry but she is now soaring high in the modelling world, according a report by The Lad Bible.
Azad, whose Twitter account is more generous to reveal some images than her private Instagram account, remained humble while responding to the Internet craze about the big change.
She recently posted on Twitter, "It's not a transformation! I just grew up!"
The Bangladeshi actress follows the list of the teenage stars in the Harry Potter movies whose physical transformations are taking the world by storm, including actor Matthew Lewis who played the odd Neville Longbottom, and later graced the cover of a magazine wearing nothing but underwear and sweater draped over his toned body.
Ron Weasley must be regretting how she turned down Padma Patil before in one of the Harry Potter movies, because this is what Padma Patil looks like now.
