I feel undervalued: Chandni

Mehbooba Mahnoor Chandni, once a vibrant figure in the entertainment industry, has recently shared her reflections on the challenges she faced during her illustrious career. The former actress and dancer, known for her captivating performances on television and radio, spoke candidly about her journey and the struggles she encountered.

Having garnered widespread acclaim and even receiving national awards for her contributions to the arts, Chandni's personal life also made headlines when she tied the knot with popular musician Bappa Mazumdar.

Furthermore, Chandni highlighted the prevalence of ego and pride among artists, asserting, "We often fail to understand someone else's perspective. I, too, have feelings of resentment and pride. I feel that everyone carries a sense of pride within. We must extend a helping hand to one another."

Expressing her frustration, Chandni lamented, "We can't truly understand someone else's inner struggles. Despite achieving accolades, I feel undervalued. It's crucial to evaluate our worth, whether in acting or dancing."
