Mumbai: Bollywood’s most-beautiful actor Aishwarya Rai was once embroiled in a catfight with Manisha Koirala over Rajeev Mulchandani.
It all began when a leading magazine came out with a ‘red hot scoop’ that Rajeev had dumped Aishwarya for Manisha.
In 1999, Aishwarya slammed Manisha for spreading rumours about her and told Showtime Magazine that she never dated Rajeev.
The actress firmly stated that she was just friends with Rajeev and her name was unnecessarily being dragged into their love story.
“Rajeev was a very good friend of mine nothing beyond that. I told him I didn’t want to get roped into their love story. After two months, they weren’t seeing each other. Manisha was seeing a different guy every second month,” said Ash, clearing the air.
“This Manisha episode affected me a lot in the beginning. I cried like crazy. I was hurt miserably with all that was happening around. After saying so much, she kept saying that she had been misquoted. After that split she had innumerable affairs according to the media, so why didn’t anybody ask her why she hadn’t come out with the information the previous year itself? added Ash.
However, Aishwarya further said that she had no ill feelings for Manisha and she wished her happiness and peace
