Netflix’s ‘Heeramandi’ actress Manisha Koirala was seen at IFFI Goa where she spoke about the ageism issue in Bollywood and said, “It comes faster to heroines, you realise you’re no longer wanted to be seen and stuff like that. It is a painful process. Luckily, the mould is being broken because of actresses like Neena Gupta. Thanks to the OTT platform and the audiences.”
And as far the sequel is concerned, Koirala spoke to India Today and said, “The shoot will begin next year. We are all waiting to be back.”
SLB fondly decorated the 8 episodic series with enthralling sets, an amazing cast, and a larger-than-life world. And in an interview with Filmfare, the actress spoke about facing flak in the 90s and how she was told to lie to people.
Koirala revealed, “At the time of Saudagar, there was a coke mixed with vodka, and I was told by people around me not not tell people that I am drinking vodka because actresses are not meant to be drinking alcohol. I was told to say that I’m drinking coke. I learnt that new thing.”
She added, “I told my mom, ‘I am drinking coke’, and she knew I put vodka in it and she said, ‘Listen, if you are drinking vodka, say you are drinking vodka, don’t say you are drinking coke, don’t lie for such small little things’. If I was dating somebody, I am dating somebody. You want to judge me? Go ahead and judge me but that’s me, this is me and I lead my life on my own terms.”
The actress continued, “I faced some flak for it because in those days, the heroes could have many girlfriends, and they were called macho men, but the actress was supposed to be this, ‘no no no, nobody is touching me’ and ‘we are very untouched.’ It was also misunderstood that (she is) very easy or easy girl to you know… But I took it on my stride.”
