However, the diva in an interview revealed that she was the first choice for the 'Fair And Lovely' ad, but the makers sent her back from the set after a mishap.
Yami Gautam ruled the hearts of many with her iconic Fair And Lovely advertisement. For the unversed, Fair And Lovely was a fairness crème whose name was later altered to Glow And Lovely.

When Mannara Chopra debuted in the industry in 2014, her name was Barbie Hnada, but the actress later changed it to Mannara Chopra. In an old interview, Mannara divulged that during the unofficial screening of her first film, Prema Geema Jantha, her cousin sister, Priyanka Chopra suggested her to change her name. As the name, 'Barbie' doesn't fit well with the 'interiors of the country'. Mannara further added:
"The name, Barbie, doesn't gel well with probably the interiors of our country. People will not connect to the name."
