Bollywood diva  Manisha Koirala, who triggered a storm of gossip about an impending divorce following a hasty online comment, says things were blown out of proportion and she is still happily married to her Nepali entrepreneur husband.

The 40-year-old actor, who is attending the International Film Festival of India that kicked off in Goa Monday, found herself in the eye of a storm both at home and in India after she posted a comment on her Facebook account last week, saying she was mulling divorce after only four months of marriage. She said

“I was born in Biratnagar (a sunny town near the Indian border) and lived in Mumbai,” Manisha said. “So I find it cold in Kathmandu.”
Manisha, who said she was suffering from cold, opted to stay with her parents for a few days as her husband was also out of town, the report said.
Manisha’s family Tuesday also denied the rumours that her marriage was on the rocks.
Her father and former minister Prakash Koirala told the local media that a lovers’ tiff had been blown out of proportion.
“The news is baseless,” the former politician said. “Manisha has always been in the public eye and people are interested in her life. Previously, there was speculation about her marriage; now, it is her divorce.”
Manisha, who deleted the controversial post soon afterwards, added a clarification, saying she was “super happy” with her husband.
“I was angry when I wrote that post,” she said. “Sometimes I just react and write silly things.”
Besides her marriage, Manisha is now also working on resuming her career in Nepal’s film industry, shelved almost two decades ago when she left Nepal after just one film to start an illustrious innings in Bollywood with Subhash Ghai’s blockbuster film Saudagar.
Her comeback Nepali film Dharma, where she plays wife to Nepal’s reigning star Rajesh Hamal, is set to be released this winter.The film has been preceded by her re-entry in the ad world where she began promoting Home TV, a direct to home satellite channel service.

Mumbai, March 16 (IANS) Actress Manisha Koirala was overjoyed when she was offered a role by actor-turned-director Amol Palekar in his new film. But later she refused to accept the role as it turned out to be just a cameo.

“I’d have loved to work with Amolji. It was an interesting character, that of a Buddhist monk. I’d have given my right arm to play the role, if only I had at least two scenes… achcha chalo, only one meaty scene. I’ve never believed in measuring my roles in terms of playing time. Lekin kuch to hona chahiye… (but something should be there).”

Manisha had to reluctantly say no. “It broke my heart. Because I’m into Buddhism. And I want to work with Amolji.”

She expected Palekar to offer her yet another opportunity to relive her golden days of “Khamoshi”, “Bombay” and “Dil Se”.

Now the role has gone to Antara Mali who was last seen in Ram Gopal Varma’s “Main Madhuri Dixit Ban-na Chahti Hoon” and “Naach”.
