Maanvi was seen with Abhishek Bachchan in the Idea 3G TVC in 2011.

Maanvi proved her acting prowess in the web shows like TVF Pitchers (2015-2022), TVF Tripling (2016-2022) and Permanent Roommates (2016) and she won the Best Actress in a Web Series award for ‘TVF Tripling’ at IWM Digital Awards, 2018.

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.

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.

Actress Sriti Jha is her bestie and both actresses share a great rapport.
