Celebrities often get criticised for their perceived ignorance of social and political issues, with many facing online trolling for supposedly lacking general awareness. There’s a stereotype that suggests these individuals have abandoned their education to focus on careers in the film or entertainment industry. It’s unjust to categorise the entire profession this way, as many of them are quite well-educated. You might be surprised to learn that some of your favourite actresses are actually qualified doctors. Yes, it’s true! Today, we’ll share a list of lead actresses from contemporary times, who hold medical degrees.
Sreeleela
The actress, who made her debut with the Kannada film Kiss, was born to a gynaecologist mother. It is not hard to believe that she aspired to be a doctor. She completed her MBBS in 2021 and has since made a career change into movies.
Aditi Shankar
Aditi Shankar is the youngest daughter of renowned and acclaimed Tamil filmmaker Shankar. She has acted in successful films like Viruman and Maaveeran. You may be surprised to know that she has also earned an MBBS degree from Ramchandra University.
Manushi Chillar
Miss World Manushi Chillar, who made her acting debut alongside Akshay Kumar in Samrat Prithviraj, took a year off from her medical studies to participate in the beauty pageant. After securing the title, she returned to complete her MBBS at Bhagat Phool Singh Medical College in Sonipat. She most recently appeared in the film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which failed at the box office.
Sai Pallavi
Sai Pallavi is receiving a lot of limelight recently for bagging the role of Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. Although she finished her medical studies in 2016 at Tbilisi State Medical University in Georgia, which is recognised by the Medical Council of India, she has yet to register as a medical practitioner in India. She took the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) on August 31, 2020, in Trichy.
