It's true that Mumbai is a city of dreams; people come here to try their luck and change their fate. This "city of lights" gives birth to a number of rags-to-riches tales. Another tale involving Maleesha Kharwa has come out of the Dharavi slum in Mumbai.
Who is Maleesha Kharwa?
Maleesha Kharwa, who is from the Mumbai slum of Dharavi, has recently made headlines after receiving two offers for Hollywood films. Maleesha also serves as the face of Forest Essentials' newest line of luxury cosmetics, The Yuvati.
According to Business Today, the company reported net earnings of over Rs 253 crore in 2020. She started her remarkable journey in 2020 when she captured the attention of Hollywood actor Robert Hoffman while a music video was being filmed in Mumbai.
