Film found in 12th class, left IIT and became heroine, then filled with Bollywood and started doing this job

There are many such artists in Bollywood who have a beginning, but later they get away from the industry for some reason. The speed with which they earn a name, they also disappear. One such name is Mayuri Congo, who was once counted in Bollywood’s popular actresses. Most people remember Mayuri as Karisma Kapoor’s onscreen daughter. She played the role of Karisma Kapoor’s daughter Mansi in the TV show ‘Karisma-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. Today’s new generation may not know much about them, but in the 90s they had made a distinct identity on both Bollywood and TV platforms. 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.

Film found in 12th

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.

Selection done in IIT
She first refused for this film, but later when director Saeed Akhtar Mirza explained her, she agreed to do the film. 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 ‘Get out of 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).

Work on tv also
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 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.

Disappointed and left industry

But limited opportunities in the acting world disappointed Mayuri, and in 2003 he said goodbye to the film industry. She married Aditya Dhillon, an NRI banker and shifted to America. There he did MBA.
