In an interview with Spotboye in 2019, Maanvi spoke about a bitter experience while auditioning for a role. She revealed that she was asked to do an attempt-to-rape scene in a sleazy office with just 2 men seated next in the room. Maanvi said,
I remember I had ran out of an audition that required me to do an attempt-to-rape scene in a sleazy office with just 2 men seated next in the room. The room, which they called as their office, also had a bed.4
She was seen as the female lead opposite Sunny Singh in Ujda Chaman (2019). Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the film also featured Saurabh Shukla, Gagan Arora, Karishma Sharma, Aishwarya Sakhuja, Atul Kumar, and Grusha Kapoor. The film received generally mixed to positive reviews from critics and grossed around ₹12 crores at the box office. Maanvi Gagroo revealed in an interview that the makers of the ‘Ujda Chaman’ needed her to put on 15 kg for the role but she denied doing that as she was also working in Four More Shots Please! (2019-2022) and Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020) at the same time so the makers gave her an alternative to use padding, so she accepted the role but paddings were extremely uncomfortable so finally, a fat-suit was made for Maanvi. 4
