Early life and background

Manasa Varanasi was born on 21 March 1997 in Hyderabad, then part of Andhra Pradesh and now in Telangana. She grew up in an upper-middle-class family in Hyderabad and has a younger sister, Meghana. Her parents are Anumani and Shailaja Varanasi.

Her schooling included time at the Global Indian International School (GIIS) Kuala Lumpur campus in Malaysia. She later returned to Hyderabad for higher education and earned a B.Tech. in Computer Science from Vasavi College of Engineering. During her school and college years she was active in extra-curricular activities, particularly in performing arts such as dance, music and drama.

Career

Manasa began to build a parallel life alongside her academic pursuits. While at college she was part of the music band NINE DAYS and earned the informal nickname “Adele of the band” from her fellow members. Early recognition in pageantry came when she was crowned Ms. Fresher at her engineering college.

After graduation she interned at Reliance Jio USA, Inc. and then took up a role as a financial information exchange analyst at FactSet in Hyderabad, joining the firm in June 2018. While working professionally she continued to participate in pageants, winning the Miss Telangana title in 2019.

Her pageant career reached a national peak when she was crowned Femina Miss India 2020 on 10 February 2021 at a finale held in Mumbai. The event saw Suman Ratan Singh Rao, the previous titleholder, pass the crown to Manasa. At the same ceremony Manya Singh was announced as first runner-up and Manika Sheokand was declared Miss Grand India 2020.

Public profile

Manasa lists Priyanka Chopra as a major inspiration, citing Chopra’s versatility and boundary-pushing career as motivating factors for her own ambitions. Alongside performing arts, she has pursued a variety of interests: trekking (including a climb of Karnataka’s Mullayanagiri Peak), embroidery, skygazing, dancing, singing, and reading.

She has been active in community and service roles from a young age. In school she served as a committee member for the Interact Club by Rotary International. During her college years she worked as Centre Head for the NGO Make A Difference from 2015 to 2018. Manasa also trained in Indian sign language and has spoken about learning the language as a means to better understand and include deaf culture.

Personal life

Manasa is unmarried. She names her mother, grandmother and younger sister among the most influential people in her life. She enjoys spending time with dogs and frequently shares her affection for canines on social media. Her hobbies beyond the stage and activism include adventurous pursuits and creative crafts such as embroidery, which she highlighted during the COVID-19 lockdown.

She continues to be associated with performance, social service and advocacy for inclusion, while also pursuing personal interests like travel and outdoor activities.
