Manjari has keen interest in drama as well. Since 1991, she has been winning prizes at school-level competitions.

Her debut album was `Ennum Ee Ponnonam', with K. J. Jesudas.
"Das uncle advised me to work hard. Studio recording was not very difficult for me. I recorded the song under the direct supervision of Das uncle. It was a nice experience," she says.

She sings in Hindi, Gujrati, English and in Malayalam.
