Mumbai, India, 08 July, 2025: Amazon’s free streaming service, Amazon MX Player, transports viewers to the gritty lanes of 1990s Mumbai with First Copy, a gripping drama where ambition, betrayal, and love collide in a world ruled by film piracy. The series boasts a powerhouse cast featuring Munawar Faruqui, Saqib Ayub, Gulshan Grover, Krystle D’Souza, Ashi Singh, and Meiyang Chang in pivotal roles. Among the standout performances, Ashi Singh essays the role of Afreen — the quietly resilient wife of Arif, the show’s complex protagonist.
Surprisingly, Ashi signed onto the project before even going through the full script. “Honestly, I was a little unsure at first. I had only heard a two-liner about the story when I said yes — it was a gut decision,” she admits. But once I read all ten episodes — over just two days — I remember thinking, thank God I agreed to this.”
What drew her in was Afreen’s layered persona — a character who stands out not just as a support to her husband but as someone with her own inner strength and struggles. “Afreen felt very real to me,” Ashi shares. She’s not just present for emotional support — she has her own arc, her own pain, and this quiet strength really stayed with me. It’s the kind of role that lingers long after you’re done playing it.”
Tune into this thrilling world as First Copy is now streaming for free on Amazon MX Player. Catch it on the MX Player app, Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xtreme.
