Former Miss World and actor Manushi Chhillar has been wooing the audience with her acting career, and most recently, she was seen in Maalik co-starring Rajkummar Rao. But the recently released gangster drama has had rather underwhelming box office results, and Manushi is quite aware of it and doesn’t shy away from accepting it. In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Manushi opened up about the underwhelming box office performance of the film and shared how it doesn’t bother her.
Former Miss World and actress Manushi Chhillar is winning praise for her role of Shalini in Maalik, where she stars opposite the multi-talented Rajkummar Rao.
Her restrained and emotionally complex performance marks a significant shift from the perception of her as just a former beauty queen. But what many don’t know is that the role didn’t land in her lap; rather, she had to test for it.
She may be only three years old in the film industry, but Manushi Chhillar has already made her mark. The former Miss World, who hails from a family that deeply values education, was preparing to become a doctor before her life took an unexpected turn — one that led her to the global stage, and eventually, to acting. While Manushi admits her transition into cinema after winning Miss World seemed “expected,” she is quick to add that it was anything but easy.
