Actress Manisha Koirala is one of the best actresses of Hindi cinema. Filmmaker Yash Chopra had offered his blockbuster hit 'Dil To Pagal Hai' to Manisha Koirala. After her rejection, the role was offered to Karisma Kapoor but now Manisha regrets her decision.
Manisha Koirala has worked in many hit films including Khamoshi, Bombay, Dil Se, Mann, Lajja. At one time she appeared in various projects of major filmmakers. Manisha will soon be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's web series 'Hiramandi'.
Meanwhile, in an interview, he has expressed regret over rejecting Yash Chopra's film 'Dil To Pagal Hai'. Very few people know that Manisha was offered this role. Recalling that time, Manisha Koirala said, “The regret of my career is that I did not work in Yash Chopra's film. I was competing with Madhuri Dixit and I was nervous. I rejected that project.
Manisha Koirala said, “When Yashji was alive, every actor of my time wanted to work with him, because he portrayed women beautifully. I went to Yashji's office and told him, “Sir, I dream of becoming your heroine, but solo. You are pitting me in front of Madhuriji but I lost a lot because of my decision.”
Worked with Madhuri after a few years
Although Manisha Koirala had rejected Yash Chopra's film with Madhuri, she was later seen in Lajja with Madhuri Dixit. Talking about this, Manisha said, “Years later, when Rajkumar Santoshi ji offered me the film Lajja, I said yes, because I had made a mistake once before. Lajja's story was amazing. This film was based on women and their problems. That topic had occupied my mind. I think there is a sense of security when you have a strong director and you believe in yourself. Besides, I had already made the mistake of abandoning a big project, which could have been a turning point in my career. I thought that because of my insecurities I don't want to make that mistake again. So I'm happy I did that film. I am proud of doing the film Lajja.”
Manisha said this about Madhuri
Manisha Koirala also praised Madhuri Dixit. He said, “Madhuri ji is a very good person and actress. I didn't need to be insecure. I think when you have a strong actor in front of you, you also act well. They encourage you to perform better. This comes from age and experience. I enjoyed working with Madhuri ji. I enjoyed working with Rekhaji.”
