Saiee Manjrekar is an Indian actress who works in Hindi and Telugu-language films. Daughter of actors Mahesh Manjrekar and Medha Manjrekar, she made her acting debut with Dabangg 3 (2019), for which she received Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut nomination.[1] Manjrekar has since appeared in the Telugu films Ghani (2022), Major (2022) and Skanda (2023).[2]

Early life

Manjrekar was born on 24 December 2001[3] to film actors Medha and Mahesh Manjrekar.[4][5]

Career

Manjrekar made her film debut with a brief appearance as Kushi Damle in the Marathi film Kaksparsh (2012). She did her first leading role as Khushi Chautala in the 2019 Hindi action-comedy Dabangg 3 opposite Salman Khan.[6] The film received negative reviews from critics, and its commercial prospects were affected by the CAA protests. It earned her a nomination for Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. In 2020, she appeared in the music video for the song "Manjha", alongside Aayush Sharma.[7]

In 2022, Manjrekar made her Telugu film debut alongside Varun Tej in Ghani, which ended up being a commercial failure. She was next featured in the Telugu-Hindi bilingual biographical action film Major, a biopic of Sandeep Unnikrishnan (played by Adivi Sesh), in which she played the role of Isha Agarwal who is Unnikrishnan's love interest.[8][9] The film received critical acclaim and became one of the highest grossing Telugu films of 2022.[10]

Manjrekar will next appear in Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay opposite Guru Randhawa.[11]

In the media

Manjrekar was ranked 47th in the Times Most Desirable Women List in 2019.[12]
