Keen to pursue her career in medicine, Manushi Chhillar is not sure about becoming an actress
Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar has made India proud by bringing back the crown after 17 years. So everyone is expecting she will follow the trend of all crowned beauties like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra to become an actress too.
When reporters quizzed her about her plans of becoming an actress, Manushi confessed that the film industry is not on top of her priority list at the moment. "I am very excited about how this year will turn out. I'll be travelling, visiting continents. We will be spreading awareness about menstrual hygiene where I'll be joined by my other Miss World sisters. That's what I am excited about right now.
"Bollywood is something which isn't on my mind as of now. I really can't say anything about it," she added.
But at the same time she is impressed with Aamir Khan's films and how the superstar makes socially relevant movies. "I'll definitely want to work in an Aamir Khan film. I think he has some really challenging roles that he gives you. At the same time, his movies have a message and a connect to the society. So it'll be very interesting to do. In the actresses, my favourite is Priyanka Chopra," she told reporters at Mumbai press conference.
Manushi was recently crowned Miss World 2017 at a grand event held in Sanya, China. The medical student from Haryana won the coveted title after Priyanka Chopra's win for India in 2000, just a year after Yukta Mookhey brought the crown home.
Manushi even said in the initial weeks of the beauty pageant, several contestants thought her to be an actor.
"In the first week of the pageant they thought I was a Bollywood actress. But jokes apart, we all are very similar. We didn't have any preconceived notions about each other. We go there with a fresh mind, there's a lot of curiosity to know each other," she said.
