Winning Hearts Disha MADAN

Disha is an actor who's starred in a Kannada daily soap Kulavadhu, the movie French Biryani (on Amazon Prime), and the web series Humble Politician Nograj (on Voot). With her experience in the media industry for close to a decade, Disha has then used her talent to amass a large following on social media with her dance, comedy & even family-related content! She was even the first Indian to hit a Million followers on Musical.ly (TikTok)!

 Disha is also currently a part of Lakshmi Nivasa, which has been the top-rated daily soap on Zee Kannada since the beginning. She is a mother and an entrepreneur she talks about her journey exclusively on our May cover.

You started your journey as a performer in 2014. After being in the industry for over a decade, how would you describe it?

When I first started, there were no monetization options, businesses, or agencies to handle social media. Social media accounts didn't exist, and it wasn't considered a commercial activity. However, over the past decade, I've witnessed the tremendous growth of social media as a platform. Nowadays, it serves as a primary source of income for many individuals of all ages.

Social media has no age restrictions, and people discuss a wide range of topics. Every niche has its audience, and I have observed the remarkable growth of social media over the last decade, which has been truly inspiring.

I firmly believe that social media is here to stay and not just a passing trend. The digital era is firmly established, and I am confident in the stability of my job.

So besides being an actor, you are also a mom, how do you manage your career and personal life sharing what a day in your life looks like?

I believe the primary barrier I had to overcome to the best of my ability was the feeling of mom guilt. It was essential for me to conquer this obstacle, especially with two young children.
