Manish Koirala is busy promoting her upcoming series 바카라Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,바카라 which has been directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. While attending interviews and talk shows for the same, the actress has gotten candid about various professional endeavours, personal life and most recently, her biggest regret.
During a conversation with India Today, the actress revealed that she had rejected the 1997 hit film 바카라Dil Toh Pagal Hai,바카라 which was directed by Yash Chopra. She stated that the reason behind this rationale was none other than Madhuri Dixit. No, the two did not have any disagreements with each other; it was because Koirala got 바카라scared바카라 that she was being 바카라pitted against Madhuri,바카라 and hence, backed out.
The actress said, 바카라Every actor of my time, when Yash Ji was alive, wanted to work with him because he portrayed women so beautifully. I went to Yash Ji바카라s office and told him, 바카라Sir, it is my dream to be your heroine, solo. You are pitting me against Madhuri ji.바카라 Somehow [because of] better judgment of mine, I think I missed out.바카라
However, four years later, the world saw the two share screen space in Raj Kumar Santoshi바카라s 2001 film 바카라Lajja.바카라 Talking about her experience working with Madhuri then, the actress pointed out, 바카라Madhuri Ji is such a good person and actress. There was no need for me to be insecure. I think when you have a strong actor in front of you, you only perform better. They encourage you to perform better. That comes from age and experience. I loved working with Madhuri Ji in that (movie).바카라
For those who might not be aware, Manisha Koirala wasn바카라t the only one that turned down the Yash Chopra-directorial. Before Karisma Kapoor stepped in to play Nisha, Urmila Matondkar, Kajol, Raveena Tandon and Juhi Chawla were offered the role but they, too, backed out of the project.
