Television actress Kanika Mann plays the lead role in the popular show ‘Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega’. She recently made a shocking revelation that her father was not in favour of her pursuing acting as a career. He even threatened to cut her off and get her married.
In an interview with Times of India, Kanika 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.”
She further added, “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.” Kanika also revealed that her relatives accused her of defaming them by choosing to be a part of the show business.
