Honestly I don't think there's anything wrong - she made more in one year than she would have in one year as a doctor, not to mention slogging for years as a resident. But my point was that Manushi got popular because she was the "pretty doctor" image, otherwise her hype would have been more subdued.
Miss India is also a thing the older generation likes most, and they do not approve of actresses, not to mention how long the pandemic was, so her initial hype was gone. YRF hurt her image badly, otherwise she could have been at least a Tier B star.
Acting is not easy in India. They just shove you with barely a teleprompter so you have little time to prep. Plus, it's not very safe for any actor/actress - workplace laws are barely held, and idiots who wish ill harm (black magic, scamming a la conman, real estate scams) are everywhere. There is a reason many people are just happy as influencers.
