One actress who makes no bones about her string of romances is Manisha Koirala. She is also one of the few persons who doesn`t lace her drinks with cola.

Unfortunately she is always rebuked for her blunt statements and her own no-nonsense attitude.A recent pronouncement to a film scribe had the guy in a tizzy. When he hesitatingly asked her about her views on sex and how she felt the first time, she was candour personified, "It wasn`t great the first time, yaar."

As stunned onlookers walked away Manisha wasn`t bothered. "I `ve lived life on my own terms," she says.
