The feminine power and longevity of some female stars fill future aspirants with hope and security of knowing that they have something to look forward to. Manisha Koirala has become a member of this exclusive club. She's part of a new feminine sensibility that is as efficient as that of men but operates with a compassion and intuition that is much more effective. In the last year or so, she has, in a way, redefined our image of female stardom.
Streetsmart and gossamer. Completely spontaneous and totally in control. Her career has been built on roles that call upon her to encompass these contradictions. She refuses to play safe in her career. She believes that when you've done one kind of role, it's not interesting to go back and do it again. And so she knows she isn't going to win them all. Actually, Manisha has been so successful at finding refreshing changes in the variety of roles she's played that her image as an actress hasn't been clearly defined. But she's already proved that she's more than just a star performer with a taste for the challenging. She has gradually developed a reputation for unpredictability in what she is willing to try; but it is the unpredictability of a person willing to test her limits.
