In the glittering world of Bollywood, where talent is often multifaceted, one actress is swiftly making her mark as a true ‘triple threat’; a personality skilled in three different areas — acting, dancing and singing.

Manjari Fadnnis, a name already synonymous with versatility, has recently drawn comparisons to the legendary Julie Andrews of Hollywood. Like Andrews, Fadnnis has proven herself to be an accomplished actress, dancer and singer — a rare combination that has left her followers and industry insiders pleasantly surprised.

In fact, not many are aware that Manjari was one of the select few to be hand-picked by Shiamak Davar to be part of his institute’s Special Potential Batch (SPB); a class from which future teachers and dancers at Shiamak Davar’s Institute for Performing Arts (SDIPA) are selected and trained. Manjari was also lucky to play the lead in the iconic filmmaker K. Viswanath’s (popularly known as “Kalatapasvi”) last film, Subhapradam, where she performed various dance forms like Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi and Mohiniattam. To top it all, Manjari played the role of the compassionate courtesan Chandramukhi in the first season of the broadway-style play Devdas – The Musical symbolizing pure, selfless love in the tragic story based on the Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay epic.

Recently, Manjari took to Instagram to release three songs, showcasing her impressive vocal abilities. Her followers were astounded by her singing progress, praising her for adding yet another feather to her cap. The positive reception highlights her versatility, reminiscent of Julie Andrews, who captivated audiences with her performances in classics like The Sound of Music.

Manjari Fadnnis is no stranger to challenging roles, having delivered notable performances in films such as Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na and Barot House. Her talents extend to the digital realm too, where she has left a mark with her roles in web series like The Freelancer and Miya Biwi Aur Murder. Each project has showcased a different facet of her acting prowess, cementing her status as a versatile performer.

With her newly discovered talent for singing, the industry is abuzz with speculation about what other surprises Manjari Fadnnis might have up her sleeve.

For the uninitiated, Manjari Fadnnis has captivated audiences with her versatile portrayals in movies such as Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, Warning, Grand Masti, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, Barot House, Wah Taj, the Marathi film Adrushya, the short film Khamakha, and the web series The Freelancer, Masoom and Miya Biwi Aur Murder. Her dedication to her craft and commitment to delivering compelling performances have earned her both critical acclaim and audience appreciation.

With her upcoming projects, Zindagi Namkeen, Chalti Rahe Zindagi and The UP Files, already generating buzz, Manjari Fadnnis continues to captivate audiences with her talent and charismatic presence, both on and off the screen.
