Meenal Sahu

Meenal Sahu’s story kicks off in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, and honestly, she’s been hustling her way through the Indian entertainment world ever since. She didn’t just stumble into acting overnight—it was more like a slow burn. She started out obsessed with dance, diving deep into Bharatanatyam and even training with Shiamak Davar’s crew (which, let’s be real, isn’t exactly for slackers). Those live performances? Total adrenaline rush, and that’s probably what made her want to try acting in the first place. She took a shot at the Miss India pageant, which, beyond the glamour, gave her a real launchpad. Then comes Mukesh Chhabra—yeah, that Mukesh Chhabra—who basically told her to give acting a real shot. So she did, grinding through auditions and picking up acting lessons. Her first big break was in the Tamil flick Irandam Kuththu. Not long after, she popped up in Bollywood’s Sooryavanshi and grabbed attention in the web show Mai Hero Boll Raha Hu, playing Mumtaz, a bar dancer with some serious depth. Meenal’s not just stuck in one lane though—she’s got range. She totally switched gears as Tisca Dholakia in Happy Family Conditions Apply, a comedy series, showing off her versatility. With projects like Deva and White Gold: Chapter 1 lined up, it’s obvious she isn’t slowing down anytime soon. From classical dance to pageants to film sets, Meenal’s just getting started, and honestly, she’s one to keep an eye on in the ever-changing world of Indian entertainment.
