THIS Bollywood actress quit films after working with Ajay Devgn, Bobby Deol and Mahesh Babu, joined Google
It is actress Mayoori Kango.
Mayoori Kango is best known as the Ghar Se Nikalte Hi, Kuch Door Chalte Hi girl.
Mayuri began her acting career with the critically acclaimed film Naseem in 1995, but true recognition came with Papa Kehte Hain (1996) and Hogi Pyaar Ki Jeet (1999).
Despite appearing in around 16 films, she was reportedly a part of many other projects which never saw a theatrical release.
She starred in films like Betabi (1997) with Arshad Warsi, Chandrachur Singh, Anjala Zaveri, Baadal (2000) with Bobby Deol and Rani Mukerji, Jung, Jeetenge Hum (2001) with Arbaaz Khan, and Hogi Pyaar Ki Jeet, with Ajay Devgan. She was a part of Shikari (2000), starring Govinda, Tabu and Karisma Kapoor. She also starred in the Telugu film Vamsi (2000), alongside Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar.
Interestingly, Mayuri was selected for admission to IIT Kanpur during her academic years, but she chose to pursue a career in films instead. While she did have a few notable roles, commercial success remained limited throughout her acting career.
After her slow stint in films, Mayuri Kango made her television debut, appearing in shows like Dollar Bahu (2001), Nargis, Thoda Gham Thodi Khushi, and Karishma: The Miracles of Destiny (2003), where she essayed the role of Karisma Kapoor's daughter.
Sometime after her acting career saw limited success, Mayuri silently stepped away from the limelight.
In December 2003, she married NRI Aditya Dhillon in her hometown of Aurangabad. The two met through a mutual friend at a party. The couple later moved to New York, and in 2011, they welcomed their son.
Mayuri pursued higher education in the US, earning an MBA in marketing and finance from Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business in NYC (2005-2007).
After completing her MBA, Mayuri Kango began her corporate journey in 2007 as an Associate Media Manager at the American digital agency 360i, as per her LinkedIn profile.
In 2009, she moved to Resolution Media, a New York-based advertising firm.
From 2010 to 2012, she served as Associate Director (Media) at Digitas, a Boston-based experience agency.
In 2012, Mayuri returned to India and joined Zenith as Chief Digital Officer.
In 2016, she took on the role of Managing Director at Performics, a performance marketing agency under the Publicis Groupe. Shortly after leaving Performics in March 2019, Mayuri joined Google.

Neena Gupta opens up about her FIRST husband; says she NEVER experienced the love shown in movies or books: 'Mere peeche koi paagal nahi hua'
Neena Gupta , who is known for being frank about her personal life, recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, sharing sweet and bittersweet stories of her early romances. She recently opened up about her first love. Neena's first marriage was to Amlan Kusum Ghose, but it was short-lived. The two parted ways amicably within a year. Later, she made headlines for her relationship with former West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards , with whom she has a daughter, Masaba Gupta . Years later, she found lasting companionship in Vivek Mehra, a New Delhi-based chartered accountant, whom she married privately in 2008. 'My first love was with an IIT guy' But long before all this, Neena had her heart set on her 'first love', a young man studying at the Indian Institute of Technology. Sharing details of this youthful romance, she told News18 Showsha, 'My first love was with an IIT guy, who I went on to marry eventually. My college fellows used to be very jealous of me at that time. Their parents wouldn't allow them to wear spaghetti straps and I was a modern woman, according to them. Woh salwar kameez-chunni waale the aur woh mujhse jalte the." When a date didn't go as planned Neena didn't just stop at recalling how her friends reacted to her first love. She also narrated a rather awkward incident from that period, proving that young love often comes with its own set of hurdles. 'This one time, my then-boyfriend and I decided to go watch a film. I revealed my plans to one of those girls by mistake and then they went and told my mother that main ek ladke ke saath picture dekhne jaa rahi hoon. My parents didn't let me go. Back then, we didn't have phones and so, I couldn't inform him. He kept waiting for me," she shared. Has Neena ever truly been in love? Though she spoke warmly of her first love, Neena also offered a surprising reflection on whether she's ever experienced the kind of love that novels and films talk about. 'I've never been in love. The love that I see in movies and read in books, I've never experienced that in real life. Nobody has loved me like that. Toh main bhi kaise kar loon? Karna bhi toh padhega na kisi ko. Mere peeche koi paagal nahi hua (laughs). But I had madly fallen in love with someone. It didn't translate into a relationship because it wasn't possible," she said. On the work front, Neena still wins over audiences with the roles she picks and her bold choice to try new things. Recently, she was seen in 'Metro In Dino' and the web series 'Panchayat'.

Neena Gupta Recalls Her 'First Love' With An IITian: ‘My College Fellows Were Jealous'
Neena Gupta looks back at her first marriage. She also talks about how she never experienced the love she sees in movies and read in books in real life. Neena Gupta is an open book. She has never shied away from talking about her past relationships. Her first marriage was with Amlan Kusum Ghose. It was a short-lived union and the duo amicably parted ways within a year of their marriage. Following a brief engagement and another relationship with former West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards, she tied the knot for the second with Vivek Mehra, a New Delhi-based chartered accountant in a private ceremony in the United States in 2008. Now, speaking exclusively to News18 Showsha, Neena opens up on meeting her first husband and how one of their first dates went wrong due to her classmates. 'My first love was with an IIT guy, who I went on to marry eventually. My college fellows used to be very jealous of me at that time. Their parents wouldn't allow them to war spaghetti straps and I was a modern woman, according to them. Woh salwar kameez-chunni waale the aur woh mujhse jalte the," she recalls. The actor, who was recently seen in Metro In Dino, further continues, 'This one time, my then-boyfriend and I decided to go watch a film. I revealed my plans to one of those girls by mistake and then they went and told my mother that main ek ladke ke saath picture dekhne jaa rahi hoon. My parents didn't let me go to. Back then, we didn't have phones and so, I couldn't inform him. He kept waiting for me." But in a surprising turn of events, she reveals that barring one relationship, she found herself questioning if she has even fallen head-over-heels in love with a man. 'I've never been in love. The love that I see in movies and read in books, I've never experienced that in real life. Nobody has loved me like that. Toh main bhi kaise kar loon? Karna bhi toh padhega na kisi ko. Mere peeche koi paagal nahi hua (laughs). But I had madly fallen in love with someone. It didn't translate into a relationship because it wasn't possible," she shares. According to Neena, the biggest issue that couples deal with is opening up to each other about their deepest vulnerabilities. And that, she believes, often resurfaces during arguments, leading to heartbreaks and breach of trust. 'I often tell Masaba (Gupta) to keep her personal emotions to herself and not talk about it to anyone. I tell her to not talk about her past. The idea is to be in the present," says Neena, who became a grandmother in October last year. The other thing that the Badhaai Ho and Uunchai actor feels has further complicated modern-day relationships is dating apps, which has made people commitment phobic. 'I know of young people who're sick and tired of dating apps. I'm shocked! I never wish for dating apps to exist during my time. I would say that I'm very old school and I prefer to wear pure cotton and pure silk rather than synthetic fabrics. Dating apps too are synthetic," she remarks. First Published:

Apoorva Mukhija's net worth: Does she charge Rs 6 lakh for a reel, earn Rs 2.5 lakh daily?
Apoorva Mukhija, aka Rebel Kid's net worth: Social media sensation Apoorva Mukhija, better known online as Rebel Kid, has been grabbing attention for her reported high income. A recent claim suggests that she earns Rs 2.5 lakh per day and charges up to Rs 6 lakh per Instagram reel. But is it true? Let's uncover the real story behind her net worth and earnings. Who is Apoorva Mukhija, aka Rebel Kid? View this post on Instagram Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as Rebel Kid, is a digital content creator known for her bold, witty, and relatable reels. She rose to fame through Instagram, where her unapologetic personality and strong opinions quickly won her a massive fanbase. She recently appeared on Karan Johar's reality show The Traitors, further increasing her popularity. Reports Claim She Earns Rs 2.5 Lakh Daily and Has a Net Worth of Rs 41 Crore A report by Business Today claimed that Apoorva earns around Rs 2.5 lakh daily from brand collaborations, social media videos, and TV appearances. The article also suggested that her total net worth could be as high as Rs 41 crore, mainly due to her success on platforms like Instagram. This information went viral on social media, sparking debates and reactions from netizens. Many were shocked, especially when comparisons were made between her earnings and the income of academically accomplished individuals. IIT Alumnus Reacts: 'World's Truly Fair?' A now-viral post by an IIT graduate, @digitalsangghi on X (formerly Twitter) expressed frustration about the comparison between academic success and online fame. The post read: Viral post | Credit: X 'Studied 14 hours daily to crack IIT, gave up everything. Today? Barely 100 people know me. Meanwhile, someone earning crores by making reels with red lipstick and abuses becomes a star. Is the world fair?' The post added fuel to the conversation, with many agreeing while others defended Apoorva's right to earn from her creativity and popularity. Apoorva Reacts: 'Where is All This Money?' Apoorva Mukhija aka Rebel Kid | Credit: Insta/The Rebel Kid In an honest and humorous interview with Bollywood Bubble, Apoorva rubbished the Rs 41 crore net worth claims. Laughing at the reports, she said: 'I'm everywhere, but my net worth is not even close to Rs 41 crore. I don't even make one-tenth of that!' She further added that her clothes were rented, her heels dusty, her nails fake, and the most expensive thing she wore was a Rs 20,000 watch. Apoorva even shared how her mother was confused by the viral rumours. 'My mom sent me the screenshot and asked, 'Where's all this money? Why aren't we buying a house yet?' she joked. Does She Really Charge Rs 6 Lakh for a Reel? Contrary to online claims, Apoorva clarified that no brand currently pays her Rs 6 lakh for a reel, and that her income is much more modest than people assume. She playfully added: 'If I ever make Rs 10 crore, I'll retire. Someone take me there. Give me money!' Online Backlash and the Debate on Influencer Earnings The false claims around Apoorva Mukhija's net worth led to a wider discussion on social media about influencer culture, online earnings, and public perception. The Rebel Kid addressed it head-on in her Instagram story, sarcastically writing: 'Galat hai bhai???' (This is wrong, bro?) While she didn't win The Traitors, her bold personality and quick wit made her one of the most talked-about contestants. Apoorva's charm lies in her honesty — she doesn't pretend to live a glamorous life and isn't afraid to laugh at exaggerated reports about her earnings. What's the Real Story Behind Rebel Kid's Net Worth? In today's social media age, rumours spread fast — and so do assumptions about influencers' wealth. While many believe that Apoorva Mukhija, aka Rebel Kid, has built a Rs 41 crore net worth, she's made it clear that the figures being circulated are far from the truth. Her actual income is not as extravagant as claimed, and for now, rented clothes and modest living reflect her reality more than multi-crore figures.
