Mannara Chopra Shares Unseen Childhood Photo With Priyanka Chopra Jonas On Her Birthday
As the world celebrates the birthday of global superstar Priyanka Chopra Jonas on July 18, heartfelt wishes continue to pour in from fans, friends, and family across the globe. Among those sending love was Priyanka's cousin, actress Mannara Chopra, who added a personal touch to her birthday greeting by sharing a precious throwback.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Mannara extended her warm wishes to her 'Mimi Didi," calling her a blessing and writing, 'Happy Birthday Mimi Didi. God bless you." Along with her message, she posted two memorable pictures — one from Priyanka's iconic wedding to Nick Jonas and another that truly tugged at the heartstrings: a never-before-seen photo from their childhood.
In the first image, Mannara is seen posing at Priyanka and Nick's wedding alongside their parents and sister Mitali Handa, offering a glimpse into a cherished family moment. But it's the second picture that truly captured hearts — an old, candid shot featuring young Priyanka, Mannara, their parents, and other siblings. The snapshot, filled with innocence and warmth, beautifully reflects their close-knit family bond.
Mannara, who gained national attention through her stint on Bigg Boss 17, has continued to be in the limelight, both for her professional ventures and personal updates. Audiences appreciated her honest and unfiltered persona on the show, which helped her carve a niche for herself in the television world. She was also briefly seen on the cooking-based reality show Laughter Chefs 2, paired with comedian Sudesh Lehri, before stepping away mid-season due to prior commitments.
On the work front, Mannara has been part of several films across Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada cinema. But off-screen, she's recently endured a deeply emotional chapter in her life.
Just last month, on June 16, Mannara lost her father, Raman Rai Handa — who was also the uncle of Priyanka and Parineeti Chopra. He passed away in Delhi, surrounded by his family. Survived by his wife Kamini and daughters Mannara and Mitali, his sudden demise left the family and their well-wishers grieving.
Despite the heartbreak, Mannara recently returned to work, sharing the news with her followers on Instagram — a testament to her strength and resilience. And today, through a simple birthday wish wrapped in nostalgia, she reminded everyone of the enduring love and connection that binds the Chopra family.

Tanushree Dutta makes shocking claims In an explosive interview, Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of harassing her. Speaking to TV9 Marathi, she said, 'Strange things have been happening to me over the past four to five years. The brakes of my car were tampered with. After that, I realized someone was following me. Wherever I went, people would follow me. The projects I used to sign were taken away from me. Nana Patekar is involved in this harassment.' Tanushree Dutta relates to Sushant Singh Rajput In her interview, Tanushree Dutta also mentioned the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, saying that what happened to him is now happening to her. She stated, 'The people who are after me are connected to Nana Patekar and his Bollywood associates. They are the ones who have sent people to follow me. I suspect them. People would come to the hotels where I was staying and knock on my room door to harass me. On several occasions, I was even poisoned, and attempts were made to kill me by making me ill – but I survived.' Tanushree Dutta further said, 'The maid who worked in my house was also involved, as she used to mix something in my food. Because of that, my health kept deteriorating. I would remain unconscious for 17–18 hours at a stretch. They tried to drive me insane and kill me.' In an interview to News18 , Dutta urges the government to provide her security. 'This mafia is huge and dangerous, and I fear for my life just like Sushant must have', said the actress. What happened between Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar? In 2018, during the Me Too movement, Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of harassing her. She said openly about the inappropriate conduct in 2008 and said he 'tried to sexually abuse' her while shooting a song sequence for Horn Ok Please in 2009. Dutta stated that although the song was supposed to be shot on a single actor, still Nana used to be present on the set. Tanushree had also filed a complaint with the Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA) in 2008. However, no action was taken since it was a criminal case. After criticising Nana for his statement calling her allegations false, Tanushree further accused him of 'criminal intimidation' and 'physical harm'. In 2019, the police dismissed all the allegations against Nana Patekar and he was given a clean chit.
