"I need to work on what is bothering me."
Whilst speaking about her love life, Manisha Koirala admitted her past tendency to fall for the wrong men.
The actress divulged her habit and revealed if she thought that she had made mistakes.
Manisha said: “I have scrutinised why I have only fallen for the wrong men.
“I used to wonder why am I doing this again and again, or if there’s something wrong with me to be getting attracted to the most troubled person in the room.
“I figured that first, I need to work on what is bothering me.
“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.”
Manisha also delved into what she seeks in a potential partner.
She continued: “Having said all that, at some point, I would love to have a good connection where I feel we both accept and are honest about where we are at.
“It is very important to understand what are the lessons we need to learn to grow, and if we can support each other in our journey.
“I wish to be with somebody who has dreams and ambitions, and some sort of passion, because I am a very passionate person.”
The star also confessed some things about her past romances.
She concluded: “I was an outsider, I came from Nepal and didn’t know anybody.
“I was just out of school and didn’t know right or wrong.
“I felt that loneliness a boyfriend or partner would fill, but that never happened.
“I found a creative way to not be lonely.
“They would talk so romantically about relationships, about taking me on candlelight dinners and I would wonder when that happened.
“There was a red flag every time, but then I would forgive and move on.
“With time and age, I realised that I had collected too many unnecessary people around me.”
Manisha recently earned widespread acclaim for her performance as Mallikajaan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s web series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar (2024).
The show premiered on Netflix on May 1.
Recently, Manisha Koirala explained her decision not to have children.
She said: “It was tough getting ovarian cancer and not being able to be a mother. But I made peace with that.
“I thought a lot about adoption. I realised I get stressed out very quickly, and I get anxiety very quickly.
“So after a lot of debate, I made peace with that. That I’d rather be a godmother.”
