Manisha Koirala back after long honeymoon

Actor Manisha Koirala got married to businessman Samrat Dahal in June this year. Now, after exactly three months of an extended honeymooning period, she would be returning to the Bollywood scene.

On September 18, Manisha will attend the New York premier of her upcoming film and plans are already being put together to ensure a warm welcome.

Confirms filmmaker Onir, “Yes, Manisha has given her nod for the world premiere of I Am. She shot for her part before her marriage and ensured that all her commitments were fulfilled. Now that we are looking at taking the film globally, she is going out of her way to support the event.”

An industry observer adds, “In any case, for Manisha too, this is a good platform to be back in action. Her last film Ek Second... Jo Zindagi Badal De went totally unnoticed while it has been close to a decade since she last had a successful film to her name. After Company (2002), where she had a brief role, none of her films have worked. In fact Manisha has had 15 odd flops in a row since then. She can well be expected to support a film that gets her the kind of critical appreciation that she deserves.”

For the event, Manisha Koirala would be joined by actors Juhi Chawla, Rahul Bose, Sanjay Suri, Purab Kohli, Arjun Mathur and director Onir.

Adds Onir, “Manisha is going through the happiest phase of her life. It’s no nice of her to be joining us straight after her honeymoon. I am looking forward to seeing her again this month. It would certainly be a great reunion.”
