She is amazing and that is the beauty of having such a fine actor in front of you because they give you the boost to do better.”
She further added, “This is Manisha Koirala, who we have grown up watching, who has an amazing body of work. I thought I am in front of her, so I better do something good. It is such a pleasure to have that banter with each other, you are fully into it. I enjoyed working with Manisha mam.”
