In an interview with the Indian media, Manisha Koirala said that refusal to accept a film offer from filmmaker Yash Chopra due to Madhuri Dixit was her biggest mistake in the film industry.
Senior Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala will be seen playing the lead role in director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming drama series Heera Mandi.
The story of this series is from the pre-Partition of India.
54-year-old Manisha said that Madhuri Dixit was also supposed to work with me in this film because I was a bit afraid of Madhuri, so I refused Yashji, which was my mistake.
However, many years later, Manisha worked with Madhuri in Rajkumar Santoshi’s film Laja.
Manisha said that at that time I realized that Madhuri Dixit is a very good person and actress and there was no reason for me to feel insecure in front of her.
According to Manisha, I think when you have a strong actor in front of you, your performance improves because it gives you motivation to do better. And these things come with age and experience, I love working with Madhuri and Rekha ji.
