An actor, model and philanthropist, Manushi Chhillar made everyone stand up and take notice when she wore the 2017 Miss World pageant crown. She was also awarded the Beauty with a Purpose Award for her philanthropic initiative, Project Shakti. With a vision and mission to support women’s welfare, Chhillar started Project Shakti in 2017 to educate women about the importance of menstrual hygiene management and provide greater access to feminine hygiene products in India. Manushi has also partnered with UNICEF India to raise awareness for both menstrual hygiene and AIDS, as well as with UN Women on their #BuildBackBetterAndEqual campaign to speak up on violence against women. As an actress, Chhillar signed a three-film deal contract with Yash Raj Films and made her acting debut earlier this year in the period drama, Samrat Prithviraj. We speak to Manushi on her modeling and acting career and more in this exclusive interview for Provoke Magazine.
1. When and how did you realise that this is what you want to do?
When it comes to acting, change was very circumstantial for me. I believed in going with the flow and I believed in the uncertainty of life. So, I don’t think there was a moment of realisation that this is what I wanted to do but I was very sure and happy about what I was doing when I started preparing for my first film. I really enjoyed the process and that’s when I felt confident about doing films.
