Who Is Chahat Pandey? Know All- About TV Star Turned Politician Who Was Arrested For Vandalism

Chahat Mani Pandey, who hails from Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, rose to fame with her acting skills. She began her career at 17 with the 2016 TV show Pavitra Bandhan and gained recognition for her roles in Aisi Deewangi Dekhi Nahi Kahi, Crime Patrol Satark, Savdhaan India, and Tenali Rama. Her major breakthrough came in 2019 with the lead role in Hamari Bahu Silk, which established her as a fan favorite.

Chahat made her television debut in 2016, playing Mishti Roy Choudhary in Pavitra Bandhan. She is best known for her leading roles in shows like Hamari Bahu Silk as Pakhi Parekh and Durga-Mata ki Chhaya as Durga Aneja.

Apart from acting, Chahat ventured into politics by joining the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). She contested the 2023 Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly election for the Damoh constituency but did not win.

In 2020, Chahat Pandey and her mother were arrested for allegedly assaulting her uncle, breaking into his apartment, and vandalizing it. She was later released on bond.

Chahat was the first contestant to enter the Bigg Boss 18 house, where her bubbly and fun personality caught the audience's attention. Her unfiltered nature reminded many of Bigg Boss OTT 2 contestant Manisha Rani.

After an emotional reunion between Chahat and her mother, the latter confronted Avinash Mishra, telling him he had crossed the line. She said, "Aap jiss character ka meri beti ko batate ho, vesi vo hai nahi. Jab aapne usse bura bola toh 2 din tak hum sab roye. Kashish ne tumhe womaniser bola, and hum agree karte hai ki tum ho."

Reports suggest that Chahat Pandey's current net worth is around ₹30 crore. Her earnings primarily stem from her acting roles in television shows, brand endorsements, and appearances on reality TV programs.
