When Photographer brought Bikini for Manisha Koirala
Speaking to Filmfare, Manisha recalled going to a popular photographer with her mom for a photoshoot. She narrated how the photographer initially showered her with praise but soon asked her to do something she wasn’t prepared for.
As described by the year-old, the photographer, after praising her for a while, brought a set of bikinis for her & told her to wear them for the photoshoot. However, she clearly told him that she had no intention of getting into movies by resorting to such things.
“If this is the way I have to get into the movies, I don’t want it, and I am not wearing that,” the Heeramandi fame recalled telling the photographer.
Pighalne Se Sharmati Ho
Continuing to speak on the incident, Manisha later revealed that her refusal to wear the bikini frustrated the photographer who then spoke to her & said, “Jo mitti pighalne se sharmati ho uske murti kaise banaye.”(One can’t make an idol from a soil that is scared of melting).
While the actress refrained from directly taking the photographer’s name, she claimed that his words are something she remembers to this day.
Additionally, Manisha also claimed that the same photographer congratulated her after she became a big celebrity over the years.
“The same person did photograph me when I was a big celebrity and said, ‘Oh, I knew you were going to be a big star.” the Dil Se star narrated.
