Career
[edit]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.[5] 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.[6]
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.[7][8] The film received critical acclaim and became one of the highest grossing Telugu films of 2022.[9]
