@Abinayadevi16 You should use locator.evaluate instead, because attribute does not change when you are editing the textbox.

locator = page.get_by_role("textbox")
# ...
value = locator.evaluate("e => e.value")

Let me know whether this helps.

Closing as per above. We also have the inputValue() method for it.
