 Manisha
Koirala born on 16th August 1970
in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Her nick name is "Manya", "Manu".
Height is 5'5". 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 current
Australian ambassador to Nepal (2001). She is an accomplished
Bharatnatyam and Manipuri dancer.
Subhash Ghai had given first break in Saudaagar
with co-star Vivek Mushran. Saudaagar did not do as
well as it was expected to do. But Manisha set her charms
on the industry. She was unusually attractive and was
willing to experiment with her talent. Her range began
from Love Letter to 1942:
A Love Story to more serious ones like Akele
Hum Akele Tum, Agnisakshi,
Bombay, Khamoshi,
Dil Se and Mann.
She had been awarded FilmFare Critics Award as Best
Performance(1995) in Bombay and FilmFare
Critics Award as Best Performance(1996) in Khamoshi
In a career spanning a decade, the Nepali beauty has
done her variety and still has zest to 'work in meaningful
projects'. Films apart, the person in Manisha does not
shy away from taking on responsibilities to improve
the state of people in the country. Women, rather girl
children have called her attention and she is doing
her bit to make a difference to their lives.
