Importerror: Cannot Import Name '_Docstring' from Partially Initialized Module 'Matplotlib' (Most Likely Due to a Circular Import)

I am trying to import matplotlib in .ipynb file but its not working, none of my files have the same name as _docstring yet I get this error and if I try something in .py file, it works fine.

import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import cv2 as cv

I'm running this in a .ipynb file in VS Code

Output :

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[3], line 2
      1 import numpy as np

ImportError: cannot import name '_docstring' from partially initialized module 'matplotlib' (most likely due to a circular import) (c:\Users\P****\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\__init__.py)

But if I try to import matplotlib in .py file like

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.arange(1,10,0.1)
y = x**2

plt.plot(x,y)
plt.show()

It runs fine, no issues.
