Actor and former Miss World Manushi Chhillar has been making waves in the industry with her versatile performances. Recently, she opened up about her experience working with superstar Akshay Kumar in the film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and addressed the discussions surrounding the significant age gap between them.
In a candid interview, Manushi expressed her perspective on the matter, emphasizing the positive aspects of collaborating with a seasoned actor like Akshay Kumar.
Following her debut in the epic drama Samrat Prithviraj, she garnered attention for her roles in films like The Great Indian Family and the recently released Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Despite her relatively short stint in Bollywood, Manushi has already proven her acting prowess and versatility.
In a recent interview with Zoom, Manushi Chhillar addressed the discussions surrounding the age gap between herself and co-star Akshay Kumar in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The actress shared her perspective on the matter, acknowledging the visibility and opportunities that come with working alongside a superstar like Akshay Kumar. She emphasized that their pairing in the film was primarily for promotional purposes, with no romantic storyline involved.
Manushi highlighted the professionalism and creative collaboration that characterized their on-screen partnership, dismissing any notions of the age gap being a hindrance to their performance.
On being quizzed over the debate on social media over the age-difference between herself and Akshay, the actor said, “Working with a superstar is good. You get a certain amount of visibility. If I talk about my first film, there was an age gap. They wanted to play the whole thing. In this film, there was no pairing. We did songs for marketing. There had to be a way to put two people together for the songs, but that’s pretty much it, which is fine. I don’t see it as something that was atrocious or something that shouldn’t have been there. It wasn’t like a love story anyway.”
Born and raised in Rohtak, Manushi Chhillar’s journey to stardom began when she was crowned Miss World in 2017. Prior to her pageant success, she pursued a medical degree and showcased her talent as a trained Kuchipudi dancer. Transitioning from the world of beauty to Bollywood, Manushi has seamlessly adapted to the demands of acting, carving a niche for herself in the industry.
In Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Manushi Chhillar essayed the role of Captain Misha, showcasing her acting chops alongside a stellar ensemble cast.
