    TV Actress Kanika Mann’s Father Told Her To Quit Studies And Get Married, Is Now Supportive Of Her Career Choice

    TV actress Kanika Mann has become a household name after her stint in the serial, Guddan Tumse na Ho Payega. Kanika is definitely talented and is doing super well as an actress too. But did you know that her father was not supportive of her initially. In fact, in a recent interview, she revealed that he wanted her to quit studies and get married.

    In an interview with TOI, the actress revealed that her family was very conservative. She said, “I knew that my father would never agree to it. So initially I thought of pursuing it without his knowledge and wanted to hide from him. But this couldn't have lasted for long. It was something that I could have never hidden from him as it would have come on TV had I not told him. And it happened, I had shot for a music video without his knowledge and he saw it on TV and came to know about it. He was very angry and there was a lot of drama at home. My father asked me to leave my studies and said he will get me married as I was not listening to him. He asked me to return home. In my family not many have stepped out of the city (Panipat) and my relatives actually said that we had sent you to Chandigarh and you are defaming us by doing such things. Such was the typical mindset. It was a difficult phase. But now my father's doubts are clear. And if someone speaks anything against me, then he makes them understand why and what I am doing. Yes he is now very supportive.”

    Well, even after she had moved to Mumbai, it wasn’t easy for her. Her mother had accompanied her, but her father was still angry with her. Her father would vent his anger on her mother and she would turn to her. She revealed that she had to face these obstacles and appear for auditions. But everything fell in place and now, she is confident that her family is proud of her, even though they don’t say it out loud. Her parents motivate her now!

    Kanika’s story should serve as an inspiration to all who need to believe in themselves and their dreams, isn’t it?
