★ “I’ve seen him take off his shirt if he spotted a beggar and give it to him. That’s Salman Khan. He has a big heart.” -Manisha Koirala

“From all three Khans, Aamir is the best actor” - Manisha Koirala

Devansh Patel, Oct 12, 2012

Whether she has come back from a sabbatical or not, Manisha Koirala, when she comes on screen, is always on top of her game. That’s why I may not remember Manisha but Radha, Rajjo, Shaila Bano, Annie and Meghna. There is an intangible and a magical quality that you can never miss in a Manisha Koirala performance. It’s delicate. It’s tough. It’s real. She shows heart, pride and desperation, a portrayal that only comes from an actress with immense talent and one who is never afraid to take a risk. Yes, I instantly fell in love with Rajjo from 1942 A Love Story, and such was the effect on me that this monsoon, the first song that I sang was ‘Rimjhim Rimjhim’. It’s tough not to fall head over heels for Manisha. How wonderful it is to have you back on screen darling! In this Part 2 no-holds-barred special, the actress opens up about RGV’s lost charm, her triumph to work with Salman, Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan and how is it to work with kids today. 

Let’s talk about the charm of these three KHANs - First up is SALMAN. 
He has become a really nice human being, not that he wasn’t back then (laughs). I wasn’t surprised when he started his organisation called Being Human. His confidence is showing a lot these days. I’ve seen him take off his shirt if he spotted a beggar and give it to him. That’s Salman Khan. He has a big heart. I’ve done movies and shows with him. I recall the time when I told him ‘I will not perform if I don’t get paid’, and Salman said, ‘Let’s perform Manisha. That guy doesn’t have money right now but he needs us and that way he will earn and pay us’. Such was Salman’s thinking and even today he is what he was. I’ve only seen a good side in Salman despite what the rest of the world says.
