Manisha Koirala acknowledged that she still feels bad over turning down Yash Chopra’s project, in which Madhuri Dixit was “pitted against” her
Manisha Koirala is gaining appreciation for her performance in the period drama series Heeramandi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. In the series, which is set in India in the 1940s before independence, the actress plays the lead role.
Manisha plays Mallikajaan, a courtesan who works in Lahore’s Heera Mandi red-light district. The masterpiece tells the story of courtesans’ interactions with British officers and Nawabs, the Mughal emperors.
In a recent interview, Manisha Koirala talked about her worst regret of turning down a Yash Chopra movie. The Heeramandi actress revealed that she declined the offer from the renowned director because it had Madhuri Dixit in the film.
Manisha Koirala expressed sadness about not doing Yash Chopra’s film, saying it was one of her career regrets. When Madhuri ji was matched against me, I became anxious. I pulled out of the undertaking.
Years later, though, Manisha and Madhuri collaborated on Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Lajja. “Madhuri ji is such a good person and actress,” she said.
She continued “I had no need to feel insecure. You can only do better, in my opinion, when you have a strong actor in front of you. They motivate you to raise your game. That is the result of experience and age. It was a pleasure working with Madhuri ji on that film. Additionally, I cherished working with Rekha ji.”
