Mayoori Kango From Mahesh Babu Co-Star To CEO

Life often writes scripts more surprising than cinema, and Mayoori Kango’s story is one such journey. Known to many for her role in Papa Kehte Hain (1996), Mayoori stepped into films after leaving behind an IIT seat in Kanpur. She acted in Bollywood with stars like Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt, and in 2000 she appeared alongside Superstar Mahesh Babu in the Telugu film Vamsi. Though her film career lasted only five years, her choices afterward proved even more remarkable.

Born in Chhatrapati Shambhajinagar, Maharashtra, Mayoori entered films at her mother’s encouragement. Yet she never let cinema become her only identity. In 2003, after marrying NRI Aditya Dhillon, she moved to America. There she pursued an MBA in Marketing and Finance, shifting gears completely from glamour to academics. What began as a mother’s wish for her daughter to be on screen soon turned into a personal mission for Mayoori to succeed in the corporate world.

After returning to India with her family, Mayoori settled in Gurgaon. She joined Google India in 2019 and took charge as Industry Head, a position that many aspire to but few achieve. Recently, she climbed another step higher by being appointed CEO of the Global Delivery Division at Publicis Groupe. From film sets to boardrooms, her journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, showing that reinvention is possible at every stage of life.

Fans who remember her as the quiet Sneha from Vamsi or the sweet college girl in Papa Kehte Hain are now looking up to her as a corporate leader. People online say her journey is inspiring, showing how someone can smoothly transition from being in the spotlight to taking on a leadership role, and still glow even more brightly than before.
