At just four years old, Manisha “Mannu” Prajapati faced a life-changing tragedy. A fire accident left her with severe burns, and while her body survived, the emotional scars were deep. At school, she faced rejection-classmates were scared of her, and teachers often discouraged her.

Despite the pain, Mannu found healing through art. Drawing became her safe space, helping her express emotions and overcome trauma. Her talent grew, and soon her illustrations caught attention online. One proud moment was gifting a portrait to Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone for her film Chhapaak.

Mannu didn’t stop there. She began sharing makeover videos on Instagram, boldly challenging traditional beauty standards. Though some mocked her, her family’s support helped her rise above negativity. Over time, her creativity also became a source of income.

Today, Mannu is an influencer, artist, and inspiration to thousands. She proves that beauty is not just skin-deep-it comes from courage, creativity, and heart. Her response to critics is simple yet powerful: “Thanks for motivating me.”
