Yash Ji, when he was alive,portrayed women so beautifully that every actor of her time, wanted to work with him, Manisha continued. She went to Yash Ji’s office and said, Sir, she wanted to be his solo heroine. That was her dream. She was being caste opposite Madhuri Dixit by him. Manisha believes she missed out due to her superior judgment.
Manisha accepted director Raj Santoshi’s 2000 offer Lajja, opposite Madhu Dixit, on the spot In Heeramandi, Manisha will star alongside actresses Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Richa Chaddha, Sonakshi Sinha, and Sharmin Segal. because she didn’t want to make the same mistake again. She said, she thought security comes from having a strong maker and being comfortable in your own skin. Her foolish insecurities made her realize that she didn’t want to make the same mistake twice. She is quite happy that she did that film. She adore Lajja so much, Manisha added.
In Heeramandi, Manisha will star alongside actresses Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Richa Chaddha, Sonakshi Sinha, and Sharmin Segal.
