THE Circle is in full swing and fans continue to watch and see who will walk away with the grand prize.

Manrika is one of the nine contestants and while she is playing as herself, she aims to change the stereotype that surrounds girls from her community.

Who is Manrika on The Circle 2021?

Manrika Khaira is one of nine players who entered The Circle 2021 on launch night.

The 24-year-old is from Birmingham feels she's "been judged my whole life for the way I live because I come from an Indian background".

She can be found on Instagram @manrikakhaira where she boasts 50,000 followers.

Manrika is also on TikTok under the username @manrikakhaira, where she has an impressive following of over 300,000 and her posts have garnered over 11.5 million likes.

What does Manrika do?

Manrika is both a recruitment consultant and content creator, and outlined what she aims to achieve by appearing on The Circle.

She shared: "My parents and family are very westernised but it’s the wider society, the way that I live isn't the expectation of what an Indian girl should be.

"I'm going on to show that you can still live your life, have that social media lifestyle and also be a respectable girl."

Manrika added: "I’m probably going to get a lot of stick for it from the wider Indian community but I just want to help other people and I want Indian parents to watch the way that I conduct myself and know what sort of lifestyle I have and think ‘maybe my daughter can go out and do that’."

What does The Circle winner get?

At the end of the series, the most popular player – the person who accrues the most likes – will be in with a chance to win the £100,000 prize money.
