Today’s pick is none other than Kavita Kaushik popularly known as Chandramukhi Chautala from the TV series FIR. The actress had a rollercoaster journey in the entertainment industry. Yet, despite her success and recognition, Kavita chose to step away from the spotlight.
She has received a lot of recognition for her performances but Kavita now lives peacefully in the mountains with her husband, Ronnit Biswas. They run an Ayurvedic business together.
