Maanushi Khair, a Malayali now settled in Chennai, began her journey in the modeling industry at the age of 15, which soon led her to discover her true passion — acting. At 19, she made her debut as a lead in a Malayalam film, and since then, her career has expanded to Bollywood and Kollywood. A proud theatre artist from Koothu-P-Pattarai, Chennai, Maanushi honed her craft and discipline, embracing every opportunity to grow as a versatile performer. She approaches each role, big or small, as a chance to evolve both as an actor and as a person, believing in the power of storytelling to evoke emotions beyond words. Beyond the screen and stage, Maanushi draws inspiration from real human stories — the unnoticed moments, emotions, and people around her — which bring authenticity to her performances. Theatre remains her most cherished space, where the rawness of live performance continually reminds her why she chose this path. With every project, she seeks meaningful characters that challenge her and shape her into the best version of herself, keeping her passion for growth alive.
