The ’90s was all about the actresses who came, saw and conquered the entertainment industry with their captivating beauty, impeccable talent and humble personality that only added to their overall persona. Many divas ruled the hearts of the audience for their timeless charm and effervescent persona. One such diva was Manisha Koirala, who witnessed immense success at the beginning of her career but moving forward, she came across numerous difficulties in life. However, she chose to fight all her battles on her own.
Manisha Koirala was one of the most sought-after actresses of her time. She was not only popular across the Hindi film industry but garnered a sizable fan following in South cinema as well. The star solidified her position as a talented actress for her appearance in films like Bombay (1995), Indian (1996), and Mudhalvan (1999). Manisha also acted alongside Shah Rukh Khan in Mani Ratnam’s Dil Se. The songs of the film emerged as chartbusters of the year.
