The Telugu film industry, known as Tollywood, is currently witnessing a surge of talented actresses making their mark, among whom Manasa Varanasi has emerged as a noteworthy figure. This past weekend, she celebrated her first significant success with the release of the film “Couple Friendly,” which has not only delighted her but also made waves on social media, where she is trending.
So, who is Manasa Varanasi? Born and raised in Hyderabad, she spent her early childhood there before moving to Malaysia due to her father’s job. It was in Malaysia that she completed her tenth grade. Upon returning to her hometown, she pursued her education at Vasavi Engineering College in Hyderabad. It was during this period that she took her first steps into the world of modeling, quickly making a name for herself.
In 2020, Manasa won the title of Miss Telangana, and the same year, she also claimed titles at Femina Miss India and Miss India World. With her growing accolades in modeling, she naturally developed an interest in acting. However, her family initially discouraged her from pursuing a career in films. Instead, she worked as a Financial Information Exchange Analyst at a private company in Hyderabad until she financially stabilized herself. After reaching a comfortable position, she convinced her family to support her decision to enter the film industry.
Manasa made her acting debut in the film “Devaki Nandana Vasudeva,” starring alongside Galla Jayadev, the nephew of superstar Mahesh Babu. Despite her promising looks and talent, the film did not achieve commercial success. However, her persistence paid off as she now has a breakthrough with “Couple Friendly,” where she plays a character named Mithra, showcasing her acting prowess alongside lead actor Santosh Shobhan.
With this newfound success, Manasa has caught the attention of Tollywood filmmakers, and she is already set to collaborate with Santosh Shobhan on another project. The future looks bright for her, especially given the current shortage of leading actresses in Telugu cinema. While talents like Sree Leela and Bhagyashree are present, Manasa stands out as a potential leading lady for star heroes, making her a sought-after actress in the industry.
As she navigates her career, it will be intriguing to see how Manasa plans her next steps and capitalizes on her recent success. With opportunities knocking at her door, the journey of this talented Telugu girl promises to be both exciting and inspiring for aspiring actresses in the industry.
