After
her
marriage
Manisha
Koirala
now
plans
to
spend
more
time
in
her
home-town
Kathmandu
than
in
Mumbai.
One
of
Bollywood"s
most
beautiful
and
footloose
divas
Manisha
Koirala
is
all
set
to
get
married
finally.
Just
back
in
Mumbai
after
an
extensive
shoot
in
Kerala
for
Malayalam
film
Manisha
can
barely
contain
her
excitement.
She
says,
“Yes,
I"m
getting
married
to
Samrat.
He"s
from
Nepal,
like
me.
But
please,
it
is
not
an
arranged
marriage.
Yes,
our
families
know
one
another
for
some
years
now.
So
there
was
a
comfort
level
between
me
and
Samrat
for
a
very
long
time.
Gradually
the
bonding
grew
from
friendship
to
love.
And
when
Samrat
asked
me
to
marry
him
I
agreed."
Manisha
returned
to
Mumbai
from
Kerala
on
Wednesday
morning
to
the
news
of
her
marriage
all
over
the
place.
She
laughs,
“I
was
totally
cut
off
in
Kerala
shooting
for
Shayam
Prasad"s
Malayalam
film.
I
had
no
idea
my
marriage
plans
were
being
discussed
in
my
absence.
Now
I
see
dates
and
venue
in
the
papers.
Like
I
said
the
wedding
is
on
June
19.
It
will
take
place
in
Kathmandu
and
will
be
attended
by
Samrat"s
and
my
close
family
and
friends."
Manisha
will
now
spend
more
time
in
Kathmandu.
“That"s
where
Samrat
is
based.
He
is
into
many
kinds
of
business
ventures
including
a
project
in
alternate
energy.
So
yes,
one
thing
will
change.
Mumbai
used
to
be
my
first
home.
Now
Katmandu
will
be
my
first
home.
But
I"ll
continue
to
be
a
Mumbai
girl
at
heart
and
will
have
a
home
here."
So
is
her
dream
of
a
home
in
Paris
over?
“No
way!" says
the
fiery
Nepali
beauty.
“My
dream
home
in
Paris
has
just
been
postponed
for
a
while.
Now
instead
of
me
alone
it
will
be
my
husband
and
I
sharing
a
Parisian
home."
In
fact,
the
couple
plans
to
honeymoon
in
France.
Speaking
on
cutting
down
her
work
Manisha
says,
“I"ve
been
cutting
down
my
assignments
for
a
few
years
now.
So
it
is
not
as
if
I"ve
been
working
frantically.
I
will
continue
to
do
selected
films
after
marriage."
As
forthright
as
ever
Manisha
volunteers
the
information
that
she
broke
up
with
her
last
boyfriend,
the
American
Chris
Dolan
long
ago.
“We
split
quite
some
time
ago.
But
we
continue
to
be
friends.
That"s
the
way
I
like
it
in
my
life.
Even
when
a
relationships
ends,
the
friendship
continues.
I
don"t
like
any
negativity
around
me.
I"d
like
all
my
friends
to
wish
Samrat
and
me
a
happy
married
life."
Samrat
apparently
is
shy
of
the
limelight.
“He
had
his
picture
removed
from
a
social
networking
website
as
soon
as
our
marriage
was
announced.
Samrat
will
have
to
get
used
to
public
attention
after
we
get
married."
