Manjari Phadnis (born on 10 July 1984) is an Indian film actress, who has appeared in Hindi, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada and Tamil language films. She is best known for her performance in the 2008 Hindi film Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na.[1]
Career
Manjiri Phadnis started her career with Rok Sako To Rok Lo in 2004, but her big break was Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na (2008) as the lead actor's girlfriend. Earlier she was part of the National Film Award-winning Bengali feature film Faltu and the highly unsuccessful Mumbai Salsa.
In 2008, her Telugu debut film Siddu From Srikakulam released, following which her first Tamil film Muthirai got released. Both performed poorly at the box office. Notably, she had sung a song under the direction of Yuvan Shankar Raja for Muthirai.[2][3]
In September 2009 she signed to appear in a series of Onida television commercials. In 2011, she also appeared in an ad film for iBall brand of pen drvies. Her 2010 releases were the Telugu films Inkosaari and Shubhapradham. Her latest movies include the long-pending I Am 24 and the Walt Disney-produced superhero film Zokkomon, starring Darsheel Safary in the titular role.
Personal life
She is from a completely non-filmy background — her father was in the Indian Army and she has traveled throughout the country because of his transferable job. She is a typical Maharashtrian girl from Pune who never expected to make a career in films. [4]
