Reflecting on Past Romances

In a recent interview with Filmfare, Manisha revealed a recurring pattern in her love life. “I have scrutinized why I have only fallen for the wrong men. I used to wonder why am I doing this again and again, or if there’s something wrong with me to be getting attracted to the most troubled person in the room,” she shared. Recognizing the need for self-work, Manisha has chosen to remain single for the past five to six years to focus on her personal growth.

When asked about her ideal partner, Manisha expressed her desire for a genuine connection built on mutual acceptance and honesty. “At some point, I would love to have a good connection where we both accept and are honest about where we are at,” she said. She hopes to find someone who shares her dreams, ambitions, and passion.

Forgiveness and Loneliness

Manisha also discussed her forgiving nature in relationships and the loneliness she felt as an outsider from Nepal. “I was just out of school and didn’t know right or wrong. I felt that loneliness a boyfriend or partner would fill, but that never happened,” she explained. Despite red flags, she would often forgive and move on, only to realize later that she had surrounded herself with unnecessary people.

Before her role in “Heeramandi,” Manisha starred in “Shehzada” in 2023 and “Sanju” in 2018, continuing to build a diverse and impressive career in the film industry.
