Manisha Koirala opens up about her dating life

During a conversation with Filmfare, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar actress Manisha Koirala spoke about her dating life and how she hasn’t been lucky in that area. The veteran actress stated that she has pondered over the fact that she has only fallen for the wrong men.

The actress used to wonder why she was doing it again and again; it brought her to the point where she started self-doubting, suspecting that there was something wrong with her being attracted to the most troubled person in the room.

This brought her to the conclusion that she needs to work on what is bothering her. “I have been single for five to six years now, and I am not in the mood to mingle because I still feel like there is a lot of work I need to do on myself,” the Sanju actress stated.

Manisha Koirala says she has been forgiving in her relationships

According to her, she has been very forgiving in her relationships. In the same interview, Koirala divulged that since was an outsider in the industry who came from Nepal, she didn’t know anybody. She was right out of school, unable to decide what was wrong and right.

“I felt that loneliness a boyfriend or partner would fill,” but that never happened for her. Many would talk about having a wonderful romantic life and going on candlelight dinners and more, but none of those promises were fulfilled. Despite being disappointed, she ignored the red flags, forgave them, and moved on.

It was later in life, with time and age, that she realized that “I had collected too many unnecessary people around me.”
