In a video titled, Manisha Koirala Unblushed which was released on Culture Machine’s digital channel Blush on Monday, renowned Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala said, “Life has come a as a full circle for me at this point where I’ve been through multiple journeys. These journeys put together, encapsulate the person I am today.”
“Similarly, the characters essayed in the video from my films like Bombay and Dear Maya including others have added meaning to my life and taught me to embrace all things coming my way,” she added.
Manisha, who has previously been seen in an array of characters on screen, including a traffic accident victim, a suicide bomber and a gangster’s girlfriend, said that she does not judge a character. She revealed, “There are characters that I played which are grey, but as an actor, I must do it without being judgmental. I am one of those actors who follow the script and the director’s vision. Even if I am playing a negative character that talks about something depressing, it should be well told.”
“Life is not all about good things. It is an amalgamation of negative and positive things. So if in a film, we are showing reality, why not? For instance, for Maya Devi’s character, if as an actor, I can bring an element of reality, it can intrigue many minds,” said Manisha.
Known for her performances in 1990s blockbusters like Bombay and Khamoshi: The Musical, Manisha, who has been absent from the industry for a while, is making a comeback with her forthcoming film, Dear Maya.
Directed by Sunaina Bhatnagar, Manisha’s comeback venture narrates the story of Anna and Ira, who prank a local woman by writing her letters from a secret admirer. The prank takes a more serious turn when the local woman goes missing,
Dear Maya is slated to release on Friday.
