Manisha Koirala, the royal pedigree from Nepal, is one of the rare actresses
willing to expose all of her soul to deliver the role. Her juxtaposition of
fragility and strength is very attractive. Manisha was launched by Subhash Ghai
in his multi starrer film Saudagar. She's got the charm, looks and acting
talents too that she attracted the attention of the likes of Ram Gopal Verma and
Maniratnam who offered her their projects so confidant of her acting
capabilities.
Her uncle was the Prime Minister of Nepal. Her grandfather B.P. Koirala was
Prime Minister of Nepal during the late 50s-early 60s. Two of her grandfather's
brothers were also prime minister of Nepal: Girija Prasad Koirala (different
times during the 90s and M.P. Koirala (early 50s). Engaged to Christpin Conroy,
the Australian ambassador to Nepal (2001). She is an accomplished Bharatnatyam
and Manipuri dancer.
After the success of Mani Ratnam's 'Bombay' and '1942-a love story' Manisha was
in limelight and started gaining fame and collecting fans to her credit. She
acted in a few films in South where she won a pretty audience too. Sanjay
Bhansali's Khamoshi was rejected by the audience, but she caught the critics
eyes once again and won a critics award. Today she's one of the hottest
actresses in bollywood and enjoying her filmi life with all the projects in hand
striving to show the best in her. She couldn't have expected much from the likes
of 'First Love Letter' (1991), 'Yalgaar' (1992), 'Dhanwaan' (1993) in any case.
Manisha Koirala is a wonderful personality having got a love for the human
beings and pet animals that she reflects these qualities in real life frequently
participating in activities of charity organisations and giving contributions at
times.
