Manisha Koirala Opens Up On Finding Love Again After Divorce; Says ‘It’ll Be Nice To Have Partner’

Manisha Koirala has garnered a lot of love from audiences for her performances in cult movies like ‘Dil Se..’, ‘Saudagar’, ‘Bombay’ and many others. But the actress has never been much vocal about her relationship status or personal life. The diva, who is currently seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’, has spoken about her divorce for the first time. She also talked about getting anxiety attacks and feeling depressed. The Bombay actress also shared her hopes to get a life partner. 

In an interview with Zoom, Manisha shared how she handled her divorce with a Nepal-based businessman Samrat Dahal, and battled with cancer. She said, “Some people are lucky who don’t get so many highs and so many lows and have a very peaceful life. I’m also lucky that I’ve had a huge amalgamation of experiences. All I can do is hope that at least my outlook on life is not bitter. My work is on that. My work is what I can change and how I see life, like whether I see a glass half empty or half full. Do I perceive life to be traumatic? No. Whenever traumatic experiences happen, don’t I learn more about life? Don’t I become richer in terms of experiences, in terms of first-hand experience of such huge trauma?”

“I get anxiety attacks, and I do get insecure. I have all those things that everyone has. I also feel depressed and sad many times. But I say, No, Manisha, get up; it’s time for a walk. I feel that once you go through so much, you also realise that there’s another side to it. You can pick yourself up and walk. They say that life is not about falling but about picking yourself up after every fall and walking. That’s the motto I live by,” she added.
