Hoping to return to cinema soon, Manasvi Mamgai on being a wild card entrant in Bigg Boss season 17

Manasvi Mamgai
She has more public service to her credit than films. The actor has never deterred from speaking her mind or doing her bit for society. While Manasvi Mamgai made her big screen debut with Action Jackson (2014), film projects didn’t come her way easily after that. However, this year, she was not only seen in Disney+ Hotstar’s The Trial, but also signed up to be a part of the controversial show Bigg Boss season 17. She recently joined as a wild card entrant.
“People in the US know me as an activist, model, and entrepreneur, but I wanted to come back to India to start working [in Bollywood] again. There is no platform bigger than Bigg Boss. It is also a chance for me to introspect on the person I am and the things I do. It is definitely better than being cooped up at home and sending your mind on an overdrive,” says the actor, adding that she is ready for the mind games in the house and is unafraid of showing her true personality. “I think it will be a place of great self-discovery for me too. All the good and bad [sides of you] make you human.”
