Manisha Koirala is currently gearing up for the grand Sanjay Leela Bhansali`s web series `Heeramandi`. Ahead of the release of the series, the actress recalled her conversation with filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra before she was signed for the film `1942: A Love Story` opposite Anil Kapoor. She revealed that Chopra was dismissive of her acting skills during the reading sessions for the film.
Recalling the incident from her early days in the industry, Manisha told Pinkvilla, “There was an incident during 1942: A Love Story. During my first reading of the scene, I was horrible, and Vidhu Vinod Chopra clearly told me, `You are very bad.` So, I requested him to give me 24 hours. If, even then, you don`t find me good, I`ll accept it.”
