Manisha Koirala is one of the most beautiful actresses to have graced the silver screen in the 90s. After having fought one of the most painful battles in life, the actress wants to make most of her life now. Manisha was last seen in Sanju, a biopic on the actor Sanjay Dutta in which she played the role of late veteran actress Nargis. The actor has teamed up with Sanjay Dutt for his home production Prassthanam. Manish will be seen essaying the role of his wife Saroj in the political-action-drama.
Talking about collaborating with Sanjay Dutt whom she fondly calls 'Baba', Manish told Mumbai Mirror, "I became a big fan of Baba after watching Rocky and even had his posters up in my room. It was a fan-girl moment when I first worked with him, but over the years we have become good friends. I have seen him go through his ups and downs in life, and whenever I have a problem, I just have to tell him. A few days later, he will call to ask, 'Manya, sab theek ho gaya na?' We are very comfortable with each other now."
The actress wants to make most of her career and life now that she has come back anew. "In the first, I was lucky I got to work with the best of directors and actors. I can't hope for a repeat, I can only choose the best from the roles I get. But I now have the responsibility of doing a better job than before," Manish told the portal.
For the unversed, the actress was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, but she gave it a tough fight and ultimately emerged as a winner. The actress opened up about playing a cancer patient in the film and being typecast in certain roles, "Luckily, that hasn't happened, the roles I'm getting offered a lot of scopes to perform. I was also apprehensive if I'd be able to perform a character suffering from cancer as I'd just come out of it," she explains. Eventually, she couldn't say 'no' to playing a legend like Nargis. "More than Baba or Raju sir, I took up the film because of Nargis ji." Manisha said.
After battling the big C, what changes has she come across, "If there is heaven, it's here. If there is hell, it's here. When I was close to death, I realised how lucky I was to be born and be alive. When you are in danger of losing something, you start valuing it more. I love life and want to live it fully. It can be demanding but I want to make the most of my living years," she asserts.
Manisha a bucket full of wishes which she wants to fulfill. The actress wants to act more, write more books, direct a film and travel more. "This year, I went to the Everest Base Camp. I want to climb more mountains. And finally, I want to be more useful in whichever part of the world and society I am. I want to live well and chase happiness," she told the portal.
Former Indian Cricketer Yuvraj Singh who came out victorious had inspired Manisha when fighting cancer, Sonali Bendre who recently got cured of it hada found her inspiration in Manisha, talking about the same, she said, "Sonali is a beautiful, strong woman. Cancer can shake you up, but one should ensure that it doesn't get the better of you,"
Salman Khan recently revealed that he met Sanjay Leela Bhansali through Manisha during Khamoshi: The Musical. When asked about it, she laughed and revealed an unknown fact, "I wish Salman and I got along during Khamoshi but we didn't. Sanjay has always liked Salman, and I knew them both long before Khamoshi. We had our fights and our moments during the film, and I still think Salman's best work is with Bhansali. I am fond of both of them, Bhansali is my jaan. He was on board as the assistant director on 1942 A Love Story," she added recollecting the fond memories. Manisha also revealed that she wasn't the first choice for Sanjay's directorial debut. "I had read his script long back, when he was looking to cast either one of his favourites Kajol or Madhuri (Dixit) but both rejected the film, and that's when I came on board."
