There are many actors in Bollywood who glow a lot in their beginning, but later they get away from the industry for some reason. One such name is Mayuri Congo, who was once counted among the popular actresses of Bollywood.

Most people remember Mayuri as Karisma Kapoor’s onscreen daughter. She played the role of Mansi, daughter of Karisma Kapoor in the TV show ‘Karishma- The Miracles of Destiny’ in 2003, who was very much discussed on the small screen at that time.

But the journey from school class student to Karisma Kapoor’s onscreen daughter was not at all easy for Mayuri. Even though today’s new generation does not know much about them, but in the 90s he had made a distinct identity on both Bollywood and TV platforms.

The journey of acting is just a coincidence

Born on 15 August 1982, Mayuri was very smart in studies. His journey of acting started just by a chance, which later overturned his life. His film career began in 1995 with the film ‘Naseem’, which was a sensitive film based on the background of the Babri Masjid demolition.

In this film, he played the role of a 16 -year -old Muslim girl ‘Naseem’. Interestingly, when she was offered this film, she was preparing for her 12th board exam. She first refused for this film, but later when director Saeed Akhtar Mirza explained to her, she agreed to do the film.

Mayuri’s film career

Mayuri’s performance was so strong that Mahesh Bhatt cast her in his next film ‘Papa Kehta Hai’, which was one of the 1996 brilliant films. The song of this film, ‘As soon as you leave the house …’, gave his innocence from house to house. She was climbing the stairs of success. Meanwhile, Mayuri was selected in IIT, but he gave priority to films first and gave up studies for Bollywood.

He acted in many films, including ‘Betabi’ (1997), ‘Ho Ho Hoi Pyaar Ki Jeet’ (1999), ‘Badal’ (2000), ‘Papa The Great’, ‘Jung’, ‘Shikari’, and ‘Jeetge Hum’ (2001). He stepped into the Telugu industry through the film ‘Vamsi’ (2000). Mayuri acted in about 16 films in her career, some of which could not be released, due to which the directors started to back down from taking her in their films. In such a situation, he turned to TV.

He said goodbye to the film industry

He worked in serials like ‘Dollar Bahu’ (2001), ‘Short Gum A little Khushi’, ‘Kitty Party’, ‘Karisma: The Miracles of Destiny’ (2003), and ‘Kahin Koi Rose’. During this time, the character of Karisma Kapoor’s daughter ‘Mansi’ made her popular among TV audience as well. But limited opportunities in the acting world disappointed Mayuri, and in 2003 he said goodbye to the film industry.

Travel to Google India

She married Aditya Dhillon, an NRI banker and shifted to America. There he did MBA. While stepping into a corporate career, Mayuri worked in the US from 2004 to 2012. During this time, in 2011, she gave birth to son Qian and then after returning to India in 2013, she started working as a managing director in a digital marketing agency. Seeing his understanding in talent and business, he was made the head of Google India in 2019. This is such an achievement, which very few people are able to achieve in the journey from films to corporate. In an interview, Mayuri admitted that the decision to change career was difficult, but it was also necessary.

Harshad Arora Reasts on Preetika Rao Claims: In the year 2014, Harshad Arora and Pretika Rao were well liked in Colors TV serial ‘Beinteha’. After years of the show, Preetika recently made serious allegations against Harshad, which has now been reacted by the actor. Harshad has said that if he wants, he can file a case on the actress but he does not have so much time for all this.

In fact, Preetika expressed his displeasure over a romantic video edit of herself and Harshad with a fan page ‘Beenteha’. The screenshots of the chat with the actress’s fan are viral in which she tells the fans- ‘Shame! To put these videos on my page, when I have repeatedly requested you not to post my video with a man who sleeps with every woman found in the industry.

‘Preetika’s mistake-‘ Boli actress team
However, about this allegation of Preitika Rao, her team told Hindustan Times that she does not handle the actress’s Instagram herself. The team says that all this has happened due to his social media manager and Preetika does not know anything about it. Harshad Chopra has reacted on all this matter. The actor said- ‘If you can post something about someone, then take responsibility for it too. If she wants to say what she wants to say, she wants to convey her point to the people, then it depends on it.

‘This is like making someone a goat of sacrifice’
Harshad says- ‘How can they accuse anyone? Nothing runs on my social media without my permission and the same thing applies to others. I also received a message from someone who claimed that he is from his team and apologizing for the message sent. It is like making someone a scapegoat. If I wanted, I could send a defamation notice for what he said. But to honestly, I do not have time or bandwidth for this.

‘I could sue her for her claims’
The actor further says- ‘I discussed this with my friend, who is a lawyer, who explained to me that if I wanted, I could sue her for her (Pritika) claims. But then I thought, I am shooting and I have hard time. She has free time and hence she is putting her spiritual energy on all this.
