Manjari is the daughter of the late character actor Macmohan (best remembered as Samba from Sholay). Raveena's mother Veena and Macmohan are siblings. Says Manjari, "I was surprised when I realised that Raveena didi's film and mine were not only part of the same festival but also being screened on the same day! I have always looked up to her. She has always been encouraging and supportive."
