Unable to sit still yet, Manasi says she wishes to work till the last day and wants her baby to join in the excitement. Talking about the concept of the video – love-irony-desire – Manasi says it is also based on the journey of a woman. She describes the EP as it is divided into three songs, ‘Tum Bhi Na’ , ‘Mahek’ and ‘Kesaria’. The first song ‘Tum Bhi Na’ shows a woman in love with a man but is taken for granted,the next song ‘Mahek’ shows a woman being independent, free and exploring the world without stress. The third song shows the woman leaving her past and trying to move forward, yet getting shackled by the hesitation native to a common Indian woman.
Trained in classical music since she was four, Manasi also gave background vocals for ‘Devdas’, she then got busy with TV.
“ If I have to choose between television and singing , I would say both. I want people to also know me as a singer.”
