Actor Maanvi Gagroo recently shared a disturbing incident from her early days in the entertainment industry, revealing that she once received a text message offering her ₹1 lakh plus a compromising deal.
Maanvi said she was new to the industry at the time and had no idea what the term 'compromise' implied, adding that a star kid would never face such a situation.
She recalled that she showed the text to a casting director who advised her to delete and block the sender, saying 'this is what happens to non-nepo kids'.
Maanvi made her debut with the Disney TV series Dhoom Machao Dhoom in 2007 and went on to do minor roles in films such as No One Killed Jessica and PK.
She shot to fame with one of India's earliest web series, Pitchers, and later in the role of Chanchal on TVF's Tripling.
Maanvi recently returned to cinemas with Heer Sara, a female-led road-trip drama co-starring Patralekhaa, which was released on June 12.
