Sharing pictures in a white dress, Mannara wrote in the caption, “How to be brave… when you’ve lost your world? He raised me to rise — with grace in pain and power in purpose. Posting again, not because I’ve moved on… but because this is my work.” Five days back, Mannara had posted another set of pictures where she wrote, “Taking small steps forward with strength, love, and purpose. Here’s to new light. I carry his strength.”
Mannara gained popularity with her stint on Bigg Boss 17. She was last seen participating in Laughter Chefs Season 2. After Laughter Chefs 2 got an extension, Mannara Chopra decided to discontinue with the show to fulfill other work commitments. On 10th July, Mannara officially announced on social media that she had resumed working again. She posted, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support you’ve shown to me and my family during these tough times. Resuming work now, with gratitude in my heart.”
On Laughter Chefs 2 Mannara was paired with comedian Sudesh Lahiri; she was later replaced by Sudesh’s former partner Nia Sharma. Mannara Chopra made her acting debut in 2014 with Zid. She also predominantly worked in South cinema. After Bigg Boss 17, Mannara also explored the OTT space and has now ventured into Punjabi cinema.
