This time, I was here for a pilot shoot for four days, and got the time to visit Jal Mahal and Amber Fort. I then went to Bapu Bazaar and nearby markets where I bought mojris, ethnic skirts and some silver jewellery .It was fun to shop in such colourful markets.Everything is so eye catching that your shopping bags will never seem big enough. I loved the kundan jewellery and bandhani saris. I have decided that I will be doing my wedding shopping ­ if not all but some ­ from Jaipur,“ said Mansi. This made us ask her about her wedding dates. To which, the actress replied, “The dates are not decided yet, but it will happen soon."
The actress also gorged on delicacies such as daal-baati churma and pyaz ki kachori. Opening up on her decision to get married early in her career, the actress shared, “I have been dating Mohit (Abrol) for long before our engagement, and we will be marrying soon. Gone are the days when marriages would mark the end of an actress' career. Look at
Kratika Sengar (who got married to
Nikitin Dheer) or even Divyanka Tripathi (married to Vivek Dahiya) ­ they both are working even after marriage and are doing really well. In fact, I am excited to start a new chapter in my life soon.“
Also, Mansi is gearing up for her Bollywood debut. She will be seen as a supporting actor in a big-banner film. “I had always wanted to do a big banner film. That is because, at the end of the day , big banners help you get noticed,“ she said.
