The industry, it seems, has begun to see through Manisha Koirala. It`s about time. Behind all the noise she makes about herself and her career, she remains the little girl that she was before Subhash Ghai put her on the road to stardom.

"I am the type who needs to be challenged on a day to day basis," Manya asserts. But not too many of her industry friends are wiling to buy her tall talk. They now know for sure that the Nepali beauty is "very vulnerable". The hard exterior and her devil-may-care attitude are part of a façade.

The most alarming part of her mental make-up is her overwhelming sense of insecurity that "leads he into unwanted relationships, some of which may actually be imaginary." That sounds strange, even for a woman as unpredictable as Manya!
