Currently, she is catching everyone’s eye by acting in ‘OG‘ alongside Pawan. Today is Priyanka Mohan’s birthday (HBD Priyanka Mohan), marking her entry into the 29th year. Let’s take this opportunity to learn some interesting aspects of her career.
Priyanka Mohan was born on November 20, 1995, in Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka, where she also completed her education, earning a degree in Biological Engineering.
Priyanka’s mother is Kannadiga while her father is of Tamil descent, which made her proficient in both Kannada and Tamil.
During her engineering studies, Priyanka participated in several plays and acted in two or three commercials.
Priyanka revealed in an interview that her friends pooled money to make a movie with her during that time.
She clarified that her first Kannada film was ‘Ondu Kathe Hella,’ but she didn’t tell her family she was making the film.
After its release, her family was shocked to see Priyanka in the film but didn’t say a word and instead encouraged her.
Despite her interest in acting, Priyanka never thought about entering films; she dreamed of securing a good job.
If she hadn’t entered the industry, Priyanka mentioned she would have been working in a reputable corporate firm by now.
Priyanka made her Telugu debut with ‘Gang Leaders.’ On her first day of shooting, seeing veteran actors like Lakshmi and Saranya made her very nervous.
She questioned her worthiness of acting with such accomplished actors and directly asked the director Vikram if he had made a hasty decision in casting her.
From a young age, Priyanka admired Suriya. She was thrilled to get a chance to act with him in ‘ET.’ After shooting, when Suriya sent her a gift, she excitedly posted it on Instagram.
Priyanka is known for her gentle nature, speaks very little wherever she goes, and has very few friends.
She admires actresses like Nithya Menen, Anushka, and Nazriya, and loves their acting, as she has mentioned on multiple occasions.
Unlike other actresses who might take off on vacations if there’s a shooting gap, Priyanka prefers to rest at home or engage in her favorite activities during her free time, occasionally going on trips.
Getting up early in the morning is quite challenging for Priyanka, and she admitted in an interview that she used to be very lazy about exercising in the early days of her career.
Priyanka is an excellent cook, especially of chicken dishes, which she claims to prepare very deliciously.
She emphasized that her day must start with a cup of coffee; without it, her day doesn’t start at all.
Priyanka tries to be the same off-screen as she appears in films, preferring traditional roles over glamorous ones.
In Telugu, she has acted in ‘Gang Leader,’ ‘Sreekaram,’ and recently in Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,’ and is currently acting with Pawan in ‘OG.’
In Tamil, she has worked with Sivakarthikeyan in ‘Doctor‘ and ‘Don,’ and with Dhanush in ‘Captain Miller,’ all of which were also dubbed into Telugu.
