During the conversation, the host underlined that she worked with all the leading actors, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Akshay Kumar, to name a few.
Going back in time, she recalled, “Those days were different. We all were friends. Kaafi hum log pange letey they, masti karte they. (We used to do a lot of fun). Those were happy days, very, very happy days. We were the brats. We really enjoyed our work. But also, we would play pranks. So, it was fun.”
Moving on, she was asked about working on the sequel of her 2002 film, Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani, with Akshay, Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, and others. Without hesitating, Manisha gave a huge smile, calling the fantasy action thriller film a ‘cult classic.’ “We knew what we were getting into,” she exclaimed with a burst of laughter.
Jaani Dushman 2 or not, we would love to see her share the screen with such B-town stars again.
