Maanvi Gagroo Recalls Receiving 'Rs 1 Lakh Plus Compromise' Offer Early in CareerPreviousNext

Actor Maanvi Gagroo shared on the Two Girls Two Cups podcast that early in her career, she received a text offering "Rs 1 lakh plus compromise" for a project, which confused her as she initially misunderstood the term. A casting director mentor advised her to delete and block the sender. She highlighted the challenges faced by newcomers without industry connections, noting such propositions are often veiled but this was unusually direct in writing.
