Maanvi Gagroo did bit roles in Bollywood, left Mumbai, and came back right before the web series scene was taking off. Now, she could be the web’s first female star. (Photo: Aalok SOni/ht )

Gagroo is like a real-world version of Geet from Jab We Met (2007; played by Kareena Kapoor) — wide-eyed, animated, the most energetic person in the room. (Photo and imaging: aalok soni/ht )

Gagroo’s first acting gig was in Disney TV’s Dhoom Machao Dhoom, in 2007. The series was about an all-girl school band – Pink. Gagroo played Ambika ‘Bikki’ Gill, a tambourine-playing Bollywood fan. (Photos: Aalok Soni/HT )

In a YouTube video titled Every Bombay Girl in the World, by BeingIndian, Gagroo played a typical South Mumbai girl complete with the Gijarati-Hindi-English dialect. (Photos:Aalok soni/HT )

Gagroo’s character - Shreya - in The Viral Fever’s Pitchers is self-aware — a stark contrast to her previous work as that chirpy girl. (Photo: aalok soni/ht )
