you & me

Charming and talented Mansha Pasha, who has been in showbiz since six years, is that breed of actresses who have proven their worth by their sheer acting skills. Mansha, who holds a bachelors degree in media, started her career with ‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai’ and soon rose to stardom owing to her powerful performances in different plays.
