how to remove "[ ]" from "[Mithesh]", so that my output will be Mithesh . I  can use two  replace functions , can i use only one to replace 2?
var1 = "[Mithesh]"

example:  replace(variables('var1'),'"[','')

replace(variables('var1'),']"','')

    Yeah, you can nest it. replace(replace(variables('var1',']',''),'[','')

    Your variable isn't wrapped. Try this:

     

    replace(replace(variables('BeneficiaryFirstName'),'"]',''),'"[',''))

     

     

    That's my fault, I notice I missed it in my example.
