Mannara Chopra previously thanked Priyanka Chopra for supporting her Bigg Boss 17 journey.
Mannara Chopra also mentioned that she has worked with Salman Khan and Imtiaz Ali for commercials.
Mannara Chopra has been making headlines for her stint in Salman Khan’s popular show, Bigg Boss 17. After months of entertaining the audience through the show, Mannara emerged as the second runner-up. Recently, she recalled how she ventured into showbiz and how her cousin Priyanka Chopra played an important role in her journey.
Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Mannara said, “My sister, Priyanka, she got me a photoshoot with Avinash Gowariker at that point of time and maine toh wo bas pictures li, pata nahi wo kaise circulate ho gayi, wo aise hi generally karaya tha, you know you need a photo. And wahan se mujhe calls aane lage auditions ke.”
“I started doing a lot of ads. So, I shot with Salman sir at that point of time for a commercial. I have shot with Imtiaz Ali sir at Lucknow, and I shot with Habib Faizal sir. So me and Priyanka did three commercials together. It was a wonderful feeling. Then I was the face of Gaana.com, bajna chahiye gaana, wo tab release huyi jab meri film Zid release huyi. I remember in the Bombay Times, ek taraf meri film ka ad hai aur ek taraf Gaana ka poster hai. It was a nice feeling,” she added.
Mannara also spoke about why didn’t like people bringing up her family on Bigg Boss 17. “So, basically ye meri life ka funda hai, I don’t like to take advantage of being known through someone. When people started talking about it toh honestly mere mann mein ek hich aata tha ki why are you talking about my family and everything. Because if I’ve been invited by the Bigg Boss platform, it is primarily because they like my personality and they wanted me to be there as Mannara. So, you talk about me. You talk about my films, my journey, mere se lado, mere se baatein karo, mujhse gappe maaro,” Mannara concluded.
