Manisha Koirala On Rejected Films: Manisha Koirala is in the headlines these days because of her upcoming series Heeramandi. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama is going to be released soon on the OTT platform and everyone is busy promoting it. The star cast of Hiramandi is very big, Manisha will be seen in the role of a villain in the film. Manisha has revealed in a recent interview that she still regrets the fact that she had rejected Yash Chopra’s film.
In an interview given to India Today, Manisha told that she was offered the role of Karishma in Dil To Pagal Hai but I refused it because of Madhuri Dixit. Manisha said- My one regret in my career is that I did not do Yash Chopra’s film. I was pitted against Madhuri ji and I was scared. I withdrew from that project.
Worked with Madhuri in shame
Many years after refusing to do Dil To Pagal Hai, Manisha worked with Madhuri Dixit in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Lajja. Manisha said- Madhuri ji is a very good person and actress. There was no need for me to be insecure. I feel that when you have a strong actor in front of you, you perform better. They motivate you to perform better. That comes from age and experience. I liked working with Madhuri ji in the film. I also liked working with Rekha ji.
Let us tell you that Yash Chopra’s Dil To Pagal Hai was offered to many Bollywood actresses, although in the end Karishma played the role of Nisha. Madhuri and Karishma also had a musical face off. That face off became very popular. Before Karisma, these roles were offered to Urmila Matondar, Kajol, Raveena Tandon and Juhi Chawla.
Talking about Heeramandi, along with Manisha Koirala, many actresses including Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh will be seen playing important roles.
