Every actor has certainly had their own journey to reflect upon. And while many people keep complaining about how nepotism leads to star kids getting their privilege and while that's true, they also have their set of struggles too which usually doesn't get noticed.

But this is tougher from someone who has no industry contacts and all the more if the person has little support in personal life too. That was the case with actor Kanika Mann, who plays the lead in Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega.

In an interview with Times of India, Mann recollected the times when her father wanted her to leave studies and get married after he came to know to about her plans of becoming an actor.

She said "“It was very difficult to convince my father and I wasn't sure if he would ever agree to it. 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. 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. In my family, not many have stepped out of the city (Panipat) and my relatives said that we had sent you to Chandigarh and you are defaming us by doing such things. Such was the typical mindset. It was a difficult phase. But now my father's doubts are clear. And if someone speaks anything against me, then he makes them understand why and what I am doing. Yes, he is now very supportive,” she continued.
