Extremely gorgeous Manushi Chhillar who had won hearts for winning Miss World back in2017 is now an actor post Prithviraj opposite Akshay Kumar. She says that acting was not on her mind but in fact, clearing the medical entrance in college was.
Manushi said, “After winning Miss World, I worked really hard to clear my medical entrance in college. I always wanted to be a doctor, I wanted to use the experience I got as Miss World and combine that with my medical degree. But life had other plans.” Soon after she debuted with Prithviraj.The 26-year-old, set to star next with John Abraham in Tehran, sheds light, “I never thought I want to pursue acting as a profession.”
She further added, “So I didn’t even have first-hand experience seeing the journey, how life changes. When I had that experience myself, I realised going back to college was not possible because you lose anonymity. You are popular, life changes. There’s a certain amount of privacy and anonymity you want as a student. As great a change this is in my life, it comes with a lot of love from people for something that happened to me.”
Chhillar says the pageant was “something extraordinary”, and films soon came knocking at her door. “People wanted to launch me. Many things happened. The only thing certain in life is the uncertainty. In the end, everything worked out in my favour, I love it,” she says.
