Actor Manisha Koirala has been basking in the success of Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. In the Netflix series, created and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Manisha plays the ruthless Malikajaan, who brings toxicity to every relationship. In real life, however, Manisha has been at the receiving end in toxic relationships. Recently, in an interview with Filmfare, the actor shared how she has always dated the ‘wrong men’ and reflected on why she’d ignore red flags in past relationships.
Dissecting her past romances, Manisha shared, “I have scrutinised why I have only fallen for the wrong men. I used to wonder why am I doing this again and again, or if there’s something wrong with me to be getting attracted to the most troubled person in the room. I figured that first, I need to work on what is bothering me. I have been single for five to six years now, and I am not in the mood to mingle because I still feel like there is a lot of work I need to do on myself.”
When asked what kind of a partner she’d like to have, the actor added, “Having said all that, at some point, I would love to have a good connection where I feel we both accept and are honest about where we are at. It is very important to understand what are the lessons we need to learn to grow, and if we can support each other in our journey. I wish to be with somebody who has dreams and ambitions, and some sort of passion, because I am a very passionate person.”
Manisha also spoke about being very forgiving in her relationships. “I was an outsider, I came from Nepal and didn’t know anybody, I was just out of school, and didn’t know right or wrong, I felt that loneliness a boyfriend or partner would fill, but that never happened. I found a creative way to not be lonely. They would talk so romantically about relationships, about taking me on candlelight dinners, and I would wonder when that happened. There was a red flag every time, but then I would forgive and move on. With time and age, I realised that I had collected too many unnecessary people around me.”
Before Heeramandi, Manisha had starred in Shehzada in 2023 and Sanju in 2018.
