‘We fell in love over time’

Recently married Manisha Koirala admits that it wasn’t love at first sight for her, but also adds that she’s very much in love now.


Manisha Koirala, one of Bollywood’s biggest stars in the 90s, finally tied the knot on June 19 with Nepali businessman Samrat Dahal. She said that despite getting married fairly late, love finally made its way into her life.


She admits that it wasn’t love at first sight. “We fell in love after several meeting. It didn’t happen overnight. As we got to know each other, we started spending more time together and somewhere in the middle, things clicked and we fell in love, “ she says.


Not even married for 15 days, but she admits that she has already made herself at home in her husband’s home. “We have a lot in common, especially travelling. We have plans to go to Paris, Barcelona and Genoa ,” says the new Mrs. Dahal.


Although she admits that she is a good cook, she shares the little fact that her husband loves cooking as well. “We make various dishes for each other. Both of search for new and exotic recipes that we make for each other. It’s a blessing that my husband is a wonderful chef,” she laughs.


We wish the newlyweds all the best.

Manisha Koirala gets married

Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala,tied the knot with beau Samrat Dahal in a traditional ceremony held in Kathmandu.



The 41-year-old Nepalese beauty exchanged wedding vows with Dahal, 34, in a private function at the Gokarna Forest Resort, 10kms east of the capital, attended by family close friends only.


Dressed in a yellow saree, Manisha garlanded Samrat and exchanged wedding rings as priests recited Vedic mantras in the presence of her father Prakash Koirala and mother Sushma.


Besides her family members, close relatives and friends, those attending the function were Bollywood actress Suman Rajnathan, Manisha's co-star in her debut film Saudagar Vivek Mushram and Govinda'a wife Sunita. Jackey Shroff and Govinda are also expected to attend the wedding reception to be held at Hotel Soaltee Crowne Plaza on Sunday.


The celebration included traditional Nepali music Panchai Bazaa and a cultural dance. Nepali, Indian and continental dishes were served at the resort, sources said.


Spread over three days, the main ceremony will be held tomorrow when the bride will go to the groom's house after performing hour-long rituals as per the Hindu tradition.

Manisha's wedding countdown is on

But Bollywood won't have a big presence at the marriage on June 18


There are just three days to go for Manisha Koirala's wedding to businessman Samrat Dahal, and looks like it is going to be an event low on B'wood biggies. Apparently, a lot of Manisha's high-profile T'town buddies won't be attending as they are worried about the security situation in Nepal. It seems actress Deepti Naval, who directed Manisha in her movie 'Do Paise Ki Dhoop Char Anne Ki Baarish' is among the few stars who will be at the wedding.


Manisha, who is 40, will be marrying Samrat (who is seven years younger than her), at a traditional ceremony to be held at a famous resort in eastern Kathmandu on June 18. The two will then leave for their honeymoon, and host a reception party in Nepal once they return. Manisha is thought to have planned a reception in Mumbai for her B'wood friends earlier, but that didn't work out.

My heart is perfectly safe: Manisha

She came on Bollywood horizon, gave some mind-boggling performances and conquered the imagination of movie buffs with her innocence and charm in movies like Lajja, 1942: A Love Story, Dil Se, Bombay, Agni Sakshi and Escape From Taliban.

But a spate of bad films and rumours of her unprofessional behaviour made Manisha Koirala an touchable, literally. Now the talented actress is back with a bang after a self-imposed exile, with some exciting projects in her kitty. An elated Manisha tells NT about all the positive things happening in her life.

One thing that's exciting her these days is her intense role in Raajitesh Nayar's Sirf -- Life Looks Greener On The Other Side. Talking about it, Manisha says, "It's a film, which has 4 to 5 parallel stories. I play the role of an upper crust professional, who's married to a businessman and feels an acute vacuum in her life. It's very close to life kind of film and deals with the problems of people living in the cities, in a tongue-in-cheek way." But this storyline sounds similar to Life In A... Metro. So what sets her film apart? "I haven't seen Life......But I was told that it's a fabulous movie. It's the treatment and characterisation that will set the two films apart," answers the actress.

Manisha's working with Kay Kay Menon for the first time. What does she have to say about her versatile co-star? "In our industry overdramatisation is generally perceived as good performance. But that's more like nautanki. Kay Kay on the other hand is the master of subtlety and that makes him stand apart in this melee!"

But then Kay Kay with his rugged looks is also known to make the girls of all age groups swoon. How will Manisha safeguard her poor heart? She laughs throatily and says, "Darling, my heart is extremely safe and secure!" Just try digging deeper and the pretty woman giggles and says, "I am not saying anything else on this one!"

And where has she been all this while, not having been seen in any of the movies for so long? "I was touring all over the world- from France to Europe and interiors of India," says she, adding, "It has been a spiritual journey for me. And I discovered myself through Amma Bhagwan, the spiritual guru, who guided me in this voyage. One of my friends from Denmark had told me about the guru four years back but I guess it is my karma that I could complete this beautiful inner journey now."

So did she go through the entire rigamarole of past life regression? "I have always been a seeker and let me put it this way, I got all the answers that were bothering me earlier," she reveals.

Manisha will also be seen in some other interesting projects. She says, "I am in serious discussions with Kalpana Lajmi and Deepti Naval for their respective projects but till the time the films are signed and sealed, I wouldn't like to talk about them. Then there's a film by a British producer, which is in the pipeline."

Doesn't it make her little sad that despite their obvious calibre, actresses like her and Tabu are not getting too many roles written for them? Manisha admits in her inimitable forthright manner, "Yes, it is a sad thing. People don't realise that age and varied experiences of life make you a better performer. But then after having done some fabulous work with the best directors, I probably don't have that burning ambition to prove myself at 37, as a 16 or a 20-year-old actress would have! But if I get a good role, I will give it my 100 per cent!"

Manisha back on silver screen!

Yes guys, she’s still around and is planning to make a comeback from her self imposed exile. And in the pipelines are couples of films and most prominent among them is a film with Gulshan Grover that she recently shot for in London. And now we hear that to come out of her emotional turmoil and her recent break up (we have lost counts of her boyfriends) the lady has opted for a spiritual escape and has joined a Yoga group. May, she find peace of mind.

Anwar - Movie Preview

Character Sketch

Siddharth Koirala as Anwar
Anwar is a quiet, sensitive Muslim youth in his early twenties. He views the world, under tutelage from his mentor, Master Pasha, in a romantic light, far removed from the pace of modern life in India. Inevitably, as he faces a far harsher reality, it creates the conflict that ultimately drives Anwar. It is his journey that the film follows.

Nauheed Cyrusi as Mehru
Mehru is the love of Anwar’s life. Through the film, her constant effort is to battle the status quo placed upon Muslim women- manifested most clearly in her desire to leave India for a better life. She, of all the characters, best represents the generation of middle-class Indians caught between tradition and the irresistible onset of globalization.

Manish Koirala as Anita
Anita is a hard-nosed, principled journalist for one of the leading television channels in the country, reporting on the controversial situation which forms the basis for large parts of the film’s narrative. In addition to the strange situation and even stranger people that she finds herself covering, Anita is also grappling for control over a personal life gone awry- all the while chasing the scoop of her career.

Hiten Tejwani as Udit
Udit is Anwar’s closest friend. He is also the more pragmatic of the two. He understands how the world works and what he must do to get along. But, like most of the other characters in the film, Udit is overwhelmed by Fate, and the strange illogic that governs the other India that lives inside the modern, moderate India.

Vijay Raaz as Master Pasha
Master Pasha is an artist and a theatrical genius who has turned his back on the world after the death of his one true love. As an artist, he has surrendered himself to the world-he now begs for a living, turning it into the highest from of performance. He is also Anwar’s mentor-inculcating in him his deep love of architecture and of classical art; and instructing him on love and life.

Rajpal Yadav as Gopinath
Gopinath is the embodiment of small-town India. Quirky, confused, paranoid, street-smart, a senior journalist for a C-grade newspaper in a sleepy town in North India, he is, above all, constantly looking for the one break that will provide him the escape route out into the big cities. One fine morning, while still in Dholpur, the opportunity falls into his lap.

Yashpal Sharma as S.P Tiwari
S.P. Ashok Tiwari is one of the most balanced portraits of an Indian Police Officer in recent times. On one hand an efficient, ruthlessly hard man in complete control of any situation at hand; on the other, a loving father and husband. Over the course of the film, however, the SP is placed in a situation where the lines between his work and his personal life become increasingly blurred…

Sudhir Pandey as Minister
The Minister completes the entirety of the Indian Experience – the rabble-rousing, schizophrenic Indian Politician. Taking advantage of the situation handed to him, the Minister begins to play the people, the entire town and eventually, the entire country for sympathy that might translate into votes, unleashing a generic wave of casual violence … all the while trying to grapple with a discreetly disintegrating personal life.

Storyline

Anwar is the story of a young man, an artist, who leaves his home and everything he knows in order to escape a world he no longer recognizes. All he ever wanted was a love story, Instead, his mentor abandons him and his best friend and his one true love betray him. Devastated, emotionally exhausted, he takes refuge in an old building, only to wake up the next morning to find his world turned upside down. Mistaken for a terrorist, Anwar finds himself in the midst of an unusual set of circumstances that resonate deeply with the modern Indian Condition and indeed with the Human Condition in this present-day global village. Surrounded on all sides by a host of characters who try and engineer the situation to their profit, Anwar becomes the central character upon which the others base their hopes and their deepest desires. A rabble-rousing Minister pitching for the popular vote; two journalists; one a nationally renowned TV reporter and the other a small-town scribe, looking to resurrect their careers and, as a consequence, their lives; a priest whose only concern is the maintenance of the status quo; and a senior police officer who only wants to leave, but must first resolve the situation… in any way he can. Through them, and through the other stories weaving in and out of the film, we discover a huge love story, plastered against the canvas that is India. And that, above all, is what Anwar is about. About the simple human need to connect, to love and to be loved, and to believe…

But now remains Faith, Hope, Love, these three…
And the greatest of these is love.

Manisha Koirala storming out of a press conference

The recent press conference of the movie Sirf, directed by Rajaatesh Nayar saw some high-voltage drama. A journalist posed a question about Koirala to the director when the stars were on stage, which upset the actress so much that she immediately left with her Australian boyfriend.

Says our source, who was at the conference, "Manisha came in at 8 pm with her boyfriend. The event was supposed to start by then, and she was well in time. She was in a good mood and was chatting with everyone. She even told the person in charge of handling television interviews she would be present till the end."

However, everything changed when the event started. Continues our source, "When the event started and the director and stars came up on stage, Manisha was seen smoking. A reporter asked her 'How ethical is it for you to smoke on the dais?' Manisha ignored this, but before long, another reporter asked the director, 'Have you signed Manisha because she has very little work and does not charge too much money?'"

Manisha was stunned. She got up from her chair at this question. Then, signalling to her boyfriend who was sitting in the audience, she walked out of the press conference, obviously upset. After she left, actor Parvin Dabas took the mike and reprimanded the journalist for asking such a rude question. However, the press conference continued without Manisha."

Says actor Parvin Dabas, who reprimanded the journalist, "I reacted instinctively as I had to make a point to the journalist who asked that question. I didn't want him to get away with it. Frankly speaking, it's the first time I've seen someone being so downright rude to any star. Everyone was stunned. Manisha is an actress of great stature and no one has the right to refer to her in such a way. I guess it was someone who would joke with his friends later, saying, 'I asked this star this question'. I feel such a question reflects on the person asking the question, not on the person who the question is about."

When contacted, Manisha sounded excited about the film and spoke about it with great zeal, " This is a very contemporary subject. After a long time I have a film with a great role and a great story. It is about today's problems where everybody admires the next person for his bigger car and bigger house and thinks the grass is greener on the other side," she said.

However, when asked about the conference, Manisha said, "I was there at 8 pm as I was told that the event would start on time. It started a little late and I had meetings lined up after that. So I had to get up and go halfway through the conference."

When asked about the rude questions addressed to her, she said, "The smoking question was addressed to Ranveer, not me. I've seen a lot in life and these little things don't affect me any more. I simply gave all my interviews and then left. In fact, before I left I even asked journalists if there were any more questions for me to answer."

Manisha Koirala and Madhuri Dixit as Bollywood's best

Make-up artiste Jaywant Keshav Thakrey lists Manisha Koirala and Madhuri Dixit as Bollywood's best.

I first met her for the photo shoot of 'Saudagar'.

Later I did her make-up for a magazine cover. After seeing it, Rajiv Rai approached her for 'Gupt'. Consequently, she insisted that I do her make-up for 'Gupt'.

Her look in the song 'Telephone booth mein hasne wali' (Hindustani') was appreciated.

She has a face, which can carry the simple and the glam look. For 'Mann', she was required to wear make-up only for the song 'Nasha yeh pyaar ka nasha'. She looked lovely even without make-up.

She takes good care of her staff. She has even helped them buy houses.

Manisha loves food. She will enjoy everything from a vada pav to bread and butter to Japanese cuisine.


When she purchased her new house, she called me home, showed me the plan and asked for suggestions. I was touched.

Every year she attends the dandiya event in my colony and participates with the children.

I know her since her debut 'Abodh' (1984).

With make-up, she looks a killer. She has a wonderful smile, which reaches her eyes.

Her look in the 'Sailaab' number- 'Hum ko to aaj jai' was much appreciated.

She insisted that I do her make-up for 'Devdas'. We collected pictures from that era. We used a New Zealand hair product (for wavy hair), which we searched all over Mumbai for.

For the 'Mar daala' number we used tattoo mehendi with diamonds. We took bits from a pazeb, a choker and a chappa and made a maang tikka out of it.

She had to wear a 40 kg lehenga with glass pieces, but she never complained.

Whilst shooting for the 'Que sera' number ('Pukar') in Hyderabad, the temperature had reached 50 degrees. But she worked quietly.

Once she attended my son's birthday party. She readily posed with my neighbours for photographs.

She loves the mutton curry that my wife cooks.

Today, she says, she is happy feeding the kids and doing homely chores.
