Manisha denies divorce rumours

But stays at her parents’ home in Nepal

Manisha Koirala, who triggered a storm of gossip about an impending divorce following a hasty online comment, confirmed that things were blown out of proportion and she is still happily married to her Nepali entrepreneur husband.

The 40-year-old actor has found herself in the eye of a storm after she posted a comment on her Facebook account last week, saying she was mulling divorce after only four months of marriage.

The remark, made after what she says was a minor spat has fueled speculation that the actor was already ruing her marriage to Samrat Dahal, a Nepali entrepreneur five years younger and a non-entity till she tied the knot with him in June.

Before leaving for Goa, Manisha told the Kantipur daily that she had temporarily shifted to her parents’ residence in Kathmandu because she was unwell and not due to any marital estrangement.

Manisha, who said she was suffering from cold, opted to stay with her parents for a few days as her husband was also out of town, the report said.

Manisha’s family also denied the rumours that her marriage was on the rocks.

Her father and former minister Prakash Koirala told the local media that a lovers’ tiff had been blown out of proportion.

“The news is baseless,” the former politician said. “Manisha has always been in the public eye and people are interested in her life. Previously, there were speculations about her marriage; now, it is her divorce.”

Manisha, who deleted the controversial post soon afterwards, added a clarification, saying she was “super happy” with her husband.

“I was angry when I wrote that post,” she said. “Sometimes I just react and write silly things.”
