I Cried Like Crazy: When Aishwarya Rai Slammed Manisha Koirala For Spreading FALSE Rumours Against Her
Aishwarya Rai Manisha Koirala: In the entertainment industry, conflicts and rivalries between actresses are quite common due to constant comparisons and competition over their body of work. There have been numerous reports of Bollywood actresses displaying cold vibes towards each other, making things challenging for filmmakers.
Instances of tension arising from dating the same individuals have also been witnessed, and a similar situation occurred between Aishwarya Rai and Manisha Koirala in the 90s. Aishwrya and Manisha were both some of the most sought-after actresses of the 90s and had an ugly showdown with each other.
Back then, Aishwarya Rai was reported to be dating model Rajeev Mulchandaniand, and he dumped her because of Manisha Koirala. However, the actress always maintained that she and Rajeev were good friends and nothing else.
When Aishwarya Rai slammed Manisha Koirala for spreading false rumours against her
Aishwarya Rai addressed her tiff with Manisha and opened up about it in a leading magazine in 1994. Revealing that she confronted Rajeev about the reports, the former Miss World stated that Manisha was making false accusations against her.
She had said, "When I saw Bombay in Tamil and thought it was brilliant. I'd reached Bombay on 1st April, and coincidentally, Rajeev called me. I was exclaiming to him about how excellent Manisha was in the film and that I was planning to send her a bouquet to congratulate her."
At that, he laughed at me and asked me whether or not I had been reading the papers. He informed me that Manisha claimed that she'd discovered some love letters that Rajeev had written to me. I couldn't believe it! It came as a very rude shock to me. I mean, if there was any kind of authenticity to this article, why didn't this piece of info come out in July '94? If that was the reason for her split with Rajeev in a couple of months, then why brood on it for nine whole months and then come out in the open?" she added.
In the same interview, the Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam actress also revealed that those rumours affected her deeply and that she cried for days because of Manisha. "This Manisha episode really affected me a lot in the beginning. I cried like crazy. I was really hurt miserably with all that was happening around me," she said.
She went on to say, "After saying so much she kept saying that she had been misquoted. After that split she had innumerable affairs according to the media, so why didn't anybody ask her why she hadn't come out with the info the previous year itself? I never wanted to be bracketed with any particular name. But today the media has played it up so much that if somebody takes my name, Manisha's name comes to mind instantly and vice-versa."
Well, it has been years now, and we are sure that the two ladies must have buried the spat somewhere deep down in their hearts.
