Rashmika Mandanna Advised Six Weeks’ Rest After Hip Injury

Mandanna will undergo a structured rehabilitation program after the rest period to rebuild strength. The injury is expected to affect her film shoots and brand commitments.

The four-episode finale will feature Kapoor mentoring 12 finalists selected from more than 300,000 applicants. The children, divided into two age groups, will present ideas related to art, well-being and science.

Manushi Chhillar Recalls Stress of Retaking Medical Entrance Exam After Paper Leak

Mumbai– Actress and former medical student Manushi Chhillar has recalled the emotional toll of retaking India’s medical entrance examination after the 2015 paper leak forced its cancellation.

Speaking on Soha Ali Khan’s YouTube show “All About Her,” Chhillar said she had given up dancing, painting and other activities for a year to prepare for the exam, only to learn she would have to continue studying for another 45 days.

“When you’re told that after months of preparation you have to continue for another 45 days, you wonder how much more you have left to give,” she said.

Chhillar acknowledged that she had strong family support, unlike many students whose parents had borrowed money for coaching or who had moved to other cities to prepare. She credited daily exercise, encouraged by her parents, with helping protect her mental health.

The Miss World 2017 winner said she initially enjoyed studying medicine but gradually experienced burnout before pursuing an acting career. She made her Bollywood debut in “Samrat Prithviraj” in 2022.
