Manya Singh's struggle

Manya Singh's father Omprakash Singh is an auto-rickshaw driver in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The family faced many financial struggles because of which young Manya had to give up her studies. She ran from her home, Uttar Pradesh, at the age of 14 and stayed in Kandivali, Mumbai. She then continued to study during the day and worked as a dishwasher at a pizzeria in the evening, and worked in a call centre at night, simultaneously, according to Manya Singh's photo on Instagram.
