Nice!

Manisha Koirala opens up about a tough phase in her career and how Dimple Kapadia’s words of wisdom gave her a fresh outlook on acting.

Manisha Koirala recently reflected on a challenging phase in her career when she felt disconnected from acting. Known for her iconic roles in Dil Se and Khamoshi: The Musical, Manisha shared that there was a time she found herself bored and uninspired by her work. She recalled a conversation with Dimple Kapadia on a film set during this period, where she openly expressed her frustration.

Manisha had confided in Dimple, admitting that she was tired of acting. She expected some sympathy, but instead, Dimple offered unexpected advice. She told Manisha to enjoy the process because it wouldn't last forever. At that moment, Manisha was puzzled by Dimple’s response and couldn’t understand why she was saying this, given her own feelings of exhaustion.

Looking back now, Manisha realized the depth of what Dimple had told her. During the peak of her career, she was swamped with back-to-back shoots, often juggling multiple film projects in a single day. Her days started with long makeup sessions, followed by continuous shooting without any breaks, even on weekends. This relentless schedule left her feeling drained and disconnected from her passion for acting.

It took years for Manisha to truly grasp the wisdom behind Dimple's words. She came to understand that an acting career can be fleeting, and finding joy in the craft is crucial despite the hardships.
