After much anticipation, Marian Rivera finally brought her beloved character Marimar back to life as she did her own interpretation of the Asoka makeup challenge, which is making waves on TikTok.
The makeup challenge is based on the 2001 Bollywood film “Asoka,” where barefaced content creators would use fast-paced transitions until the video ends with them wearing glamorous looks inspired by their respective cultures.
The makeup challenge, which originally features the “Asoka” theme song “San Sanana,” is making waves on the video-sharing platform, which also included Ivana Alawi having her interpretation.

“Taking you back to 2007– Asoka style,” she wrote.
