How many of us remember the Jugal Hansraj’s dreamy beach song Ghar Se Nikalte Hi from back in the day. That light-eyed beauty in the video Mayoori Kangoo …does it ring a bell? With the latest news coming in looks like Mayoori Kangoo has been making moves of her own and we are quite impressed. For those who may not remember her well or at all, Mayoori has worked with actors like Ajay Devgn, Anupam Kher, Arshad Warsi, Shakti Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rani Mukerji and Chandrachur Singh in her heydays. Other than being an actress, Mayoori is an IIT graduate from Kanpur and she has now joined Google India as its Industry Head- Agency Business.

After working in almost 16 movies (most of which never made it to theatres) Mayoori left the industry in 2003 to marry NRI businessman Aditya Dhillion and moved to the US post that. She enrolled into University and got an MBA in marketing and finance from City University of New York-Baruch College – Zicklin School of business. Before taking up the coveted position at Google India Mayoori was the MD of Performics Resultrix, part of the Publicis.

Back in the 90s, there were no roles for actresses like there is today, so we get why Mayoori took this great career move. Mayoori did a lot of other gigs like writing scripts and making documentaries as well. In 2000 she tried her luck with the TV Industry. While this is some great news for Mayoori we congratulate her on her success and hope to see more women slaying like her in whatever they choose to do. She made her debut with Naseem in 1995 which won a National Award. The film was based on the controversial Babri Masjid demolition. Mahesh Bhatt later cast her in a lead role for the 1996 film Papa Kehte Hai.
