Manisha Koirala is marrying a businessman from Nepal, called Samrat. Says Manisha, “Yes, I’m getting married to Samrat. He’s from Nepal, like me. But please, it is not an arranged marriage. Yes, our families know one another for some years now. So there was a comfort level between me and Samrat for a very long time. Gradually the bonding grew from friendship to love. And when Samrat asked me to marry him I agreed.”

Manisha has stated to the media that she will be marrying on June 19, 2010 and after that settling in Nepal, probably pursuing politics. The woman who has had some of the best movies in the 90s to her credit like Bombay, Khamoshi-The Musical, Agnisakshi and Gupt among many others will turn 40 on August 16 2010. The actress known for her bohemian and footloose lifestyle, has had a string of affairs which included actor Nana Patekar, DJ Whosane, American Chris Dolan before she finally conceded to marry someone from her home town.

Manisha Koirala is currently shooting for a Malayalm film and is pretty excited about the wedding. She states, “The wedding will take place in Kathmandu and will be attended by Samrat’s and my close family and friends. I will continue to stay in Kathmandu where Samrat is based. He is into many kind of business ventures including a project in alternate energy. So yes, one thing will change. Mumbai used to be my first home. Now Kathmandu will be my first home. But I’ll continue to be a Mumbai girl at heart and will have a home here. We are also focusing on our dream home in Paris” Incidentally, the couple will honeymoon in France.

About her professional assignments, Manisha says, “I’ve been cutting down my assignments for a few years now. So it’s not as if I’ve been working frantically. I will continue to do selected films after marriage.” Though the media was sure that Manisha’s relationship with Chris Dolan would work out for sure, she tells that Chris will continue to be her friend. “We split quite some time ago. But we continue to be friends. That’s the way I like it in my life. Even when a relationships ends, the friendship continues. I don’t like any negativity around me. I’d like all my friends to wish Samrat and me a happy married life.”

Manisha adds that Samrat is a low-profile persona and does not like media attention. “He had his picture removed from a social networking website as soon as our marriage was announced. Samrat will have to get used to public attention after we get married” she smiles
