The Mann actress shared that when she went to a famous photographer for a photo shoot with her mom, he said she's a star material. However, after some time, he brought her a two-piece bikini and asked her to wear it. Manisha told him that she wears this when she goes to the beach or for a swim, but if this is the way she will have to get into the movies, she doesn’t want it.
