By: Tupaki Desk | 22 Jan 2026 2:15 PM ISTMannara Chopra, born Barbie Handa on March 29, 1991, in Ambala Cantonment, Haryana, is an Indian actress and model, cousin to Priyanka Chopra Jonas. She began with modeling and over 40 commercials, including ones with Priyanka for Dabur Amla Hair Oil, gaining instant recognition. She changed her name to Mannara on Priyanka's advice.
Her film debut was the Telugu romantic comedy Prema Geema Jantha Nai (2014), playing a talkative college girl. She made her Hindi/Bollywood debut the same year with the erotic thriller Zid (2014), portraying an obsessive lover opposite Karanvir Sharma. She appeared in Telugu hits like Jakkanna (2016) opposite Sunil, Thikka (2016) with Sai Dharam Tej, the action film Rogue (2017) directed by Puri Jagannadh (also released in Kannada), and Sita (2019). Other projects include Hi Five (2022) and Tiragabadara Saami (2024). She gained massive popularity as the second runner-up on Bigg Boss 17 (2023), boosting her visibility.
This glamorous ethnic photo showcases Mannara in a stunning yellow lehenga with intricate gold embroidery, deep neckline, and flowing pleated skirt. Adorned with a heavy emerald and diamond necklace, matching earrings, rings, and long wavy hair, she poses elegantly amid floral decor and warm lighting, exuding regal charm and confidence.
As of January 2026, no major upcoming theatrical projects are confirmed beyond recent releases, though her post-Bigg Boss momentum suggests potential in films, web series, or reality TV.
