Manushi Chhillar’s journey from being a nobody to becoming Miss World and now, emerging as one of the promising stars of Bollywood is surely one for the books! But did you know her ambition wasn’t to be an actress but to be a doctor? Yes, the actress wanted to pursue MBBS, but God had other plans for this beauty queen! Chhillar had previously revealed that it was her mother who pushed her to take part in the pageantry. And when she won, there was no looking back for her. She not only became the face for an international brand Estée Lauder, but was flooded with opportunities to star in films.

In 2022, Chillar grabbed the opportunity and went on to star in a period drama ‘Samrat Prithviraj’, which marked the beginning of her journey as an actress. The film established that Chillar can act, and is here to stay and slay. With the period drama, the beauty queen attracted fame and recognition, and her performance opened more such opportunities. With film such as ‘The Great Indian Family’ and ‘Operation Valentine’, Chhillar showcased her versatility. However, people spotted her hunger to perform with her latest release ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’. The actress was seen performing action like a pro right in her fourth film. She packed punches and threw kicks with such panache that audience demanded to see her in more of such roles.

Now, on the work front, the actress is gearing up to star in ‘Tehran’, which will see her sharing the screen space for the first time with John Abraham. The film is slated to hit the theatres soon! Beyond acting, the actress has also turned into an entrepreneur. She recently launched her swimwear brand DWEEP.
