Actress Manasi Parekh to play Mohit Raina's Wife in her Bollywood debut!

Motherhood may mean a short break but actress and singer Manasi Parekh has taken it in her stride.

While Manasi has been working since her daughter Nirvi was 3 months old, the actress hadn't taken on any long term assignments.

Now we hear that Manasi is back and with a bang as the actress is shooting for the upcoming Yami Gautam - Vicky Kaushal film Uri.

Our source informs us, "Manasi will be playing a resolute army officer's wife - she is seen as Mohit Raina's wife and Vicky Kaushal's sister in the film.  She has a very bohemian look with lots of accessories and indo western clothes."

We reached out to Manasi who confirmed and said, "This role was of a strong army wife and that's something we don't get to know about often.  What happens to the wives of the army officers when they're are fighting for the country."

She continued, "I have powerful scenes and director Aditya Dhar has written  the story beautifully. Also getting to share screen space with Vicky Kaushal, Mohit Raina and Swaroop Sampat was too exciting for me as an actor."

And while Manasi may not have been part of the Serbia schedule for the film, we believe she's already shot for her role and by the looks of her posts on social media, daughter Nirvi too was on sets with Manasi while she was shooting.  Now that's called the best of both worlds isn't it?
