Mangaluru, Sep 19: Shraddha Gowda, an optometrist by profession and a passionate freelance model, has made a striking debut in the romantic musical single ‘Manadani’, released on September 18. The song, which also features actor Shrikanth Ganesh, has received an overwhelmingly positive response since its launch.

Directed by Shrikanth Ganesh himself, Manadani is not just a musical, but a soulful narrative that resonates with deep emotions and unspoken feelings.

In addition to her medical profession, Shraddha is actively involved in event management, fitness, and calisthenics. She also assists individuals with weight management and personal training, showcasing her multifaceted interests and commitment to health and wellness.

Speaking about her experience with Manadani, Shraddha shared, “I initially heard the first version of the song and was deeply impressed by the lyrics. The singer’s voice was mesmerizing. It didn’t take me long to say ‘yes’ to the project.”

She described the moment she saw herself on screen as deeply emotional, saying “I always wanted to do something meaningful in this field. Seeing myself on screen for the first time was a surreal and emotional moment.”

Reflecting on her collaboration with director and co-star Shrikanth Ganesh, Shraddha said, “Shrikanth is a true disciplinarian and incredibly passionate about his work. The effort he has put into this project is evident in the final output. I was introduced to the project through a close friend who mentioned they were looking for a fresh face. Initially, I was hesitant, but after listening to the song, I was all in.”

Sharing the deeper message of Manadani, Shraddha emphasized the importance of self-expression and said, “Manadani is the voice of your soul. Many people struggle to express their emotions—this song encourages everyone to speak freely and not suppress their feelings.”

She also acknowledged how her background in modelling and dedication to fitness helped her stay disciplined and prepared for the shoot.

“My previous experience as a model certainly helped. Being a fitness enthusiast has taught me discipline, which is essential in any field.”

Shraddha views Manadani as just the beginning of her creative journey “This experience has been a part of my personal and creative growth. The journey is ongoing, and I am confident I will continue to evolve as a better person both creatively and personally.”
