Actor Manushi Chhillar who previously pursued her medical degree before coming to films had now revealed why she didn’t pursue her medical degree after winning the beauty pageant.
She says that acting was not a predetermined career, “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.” said the actor soon after she made her debut with Prithviraj.The actor is now all set to work with John Abraham in Tehran, pertaining to that she mentioned, “I never thought I want to pursue acting as a profession.”
Since then she has been incessant in her journey and shared that she was three when Priyanka Chopra bagged the Ms World title for India. “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,” she shares.Chhillar talks about the pageant and termed it “something extraordinary”. “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 adds.
When asked in conversation with Hindustan Times about her personal life, she mentions, “The key is to not take it too seriously. I have never taken myself too seriously. When I won, 90 percent of the stuff written about me was all fiction! There were random stories about me, which even I was reading for the first time myself,” she chuckles.
