Mandana Karimi: Suddenly overnight I was homeless in Mumbai & everything went down the drain

Mandana Karimi is making a mighty comeback with her latest web show, Casino. The show has become the talk of social media as everyone is talking about it everywhere. Apart from Mandana Karimi, the show also stars Karanvir Bohra. Now, talking about her time before getting the show, Mandan opens up about how difficult a phase it was in her life as she was almost on the verge of breaking down.

Mandana spoke to Bollywood Bubble about her life in the quarantine, and also how she is worried about her parents in Iran. Have a look at the entire conversation right here:

Talking about how Casino happened, Mandana said while talking to Mid Day, “Well, to be honest, I didn’t choose it, it chose me. I didn’t work for quite a few years and when I got back I just wanted to work. I didn’t really plan like I want to do OTT or I want to do this or that. Also, I did a daily soap as well, Ishqbaaaz and along with that, I shot for songs with Tisca Chopra and Rahul Bose that haven’t released yet. So I have been working really hard on my craft and keeping really busy with taking acting classes, doing theatre then working on my Hindi.”

She also opened up about the rigorous challenges she had to face in Mumbai trying to make ends meet right before Casino came to her. “Every single day in this industry, you have a new challenge. Every single day, there are thousands of Indians or there are people from outside, who want to be a part of the industry because it is a glamourous place. Everybody is replaceable. I feel, the moment you take that break, it becomes difficult to come back, especially when you are not from India,” she states while talking to Mid Day.

Talking about the strife of being in Mumbai, she said, “I am trying to survive. It is really tough to stay in Mumbai, it is not a cheap city and suddenly overnight, I was homeless. Overnight, everything went down the drain for me. What kept me going was my determination and great family and friends that I have around me and people who have been there for me. To go back to movies, because of a couple of experiences that I had, which were bad experiences, I kind of tried to run away from the movies and the industry. But I think when the industry is taking you back, that means this is what I am supposed to do.”

We must say, very well said Mandana.
