Sonakshi Sinha reveals apology to Manisha Koirala after filming 'Heeramandi'

Sonakshi Sinha revealed that she apologized to Manisha Koirala after working on Heeramandi.

In an interview with Instant Bollywood, the 36-year-old actress shared that she grew up admiring Manisha and her "amazing work." 

The Dabangg actress also discussed whether she made an effort to stay in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "good books" while filming the web series.

She said, “I love her. I apologised to her after I saw the entire series! I was like, how have I done this? Meri ye majaal kaha se aayi (How dare I)! 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."

"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.”

Sonakshi also discussed her relationship with the Padmavat director during the filming of the show.

She divulged, “I didn’t really try (to be in his good books). He is an artiste himself so I knew the only thing that will ever impress him is good work or if I do my work well. That is exactly what happened. He was not supposed to shoot too many scenes of mine, but then he shot one and kept coming back."

"We made a beautiful rapport on set where I didn’t have to try too hard and I knew that if I put that pressure on myself, I am going to mess it up. I completely surrendered and gave it my best shot. He saw and appreciated that."
