In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Manisha recalled her experience with Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Rekha. Talking about Shah Rukh Khan, The actress shared, “Shah Rukh’s been my friend from the beginning days. I remember going to his Mount Mary apartment, and there used to be chatais (mat) on his flat. We used to all sit on chatais (mat), and we were all buddies and very young.”
“Though I came one or two years earlier to him to Bombay, we bonded a lot. It was he who advised me to buy a house in Bombay. He said, ‘You know, Manisha, we both have come outside from Bombay and to belong to Bombay, we need to have a place. Apnapan aa jayega usme,’ said Manisha.
Manisha remembered Shah Rukh Khan, the first to advise her to buy a house in Mumbai to feel rooted. She said, “Pehla woh banda tha jisne mujhe advice kiya ki agar tum ghar kharid logi to you will be rooted here. We will have our style in it.”

Baad mein jab main khula aur maine unke doosra roop dekha, jab woh bhi khul gayi, maine kaha ‘My goodness!’” Manisha also shared, “There’s so much wisdom, there’s so much of women, there’s so much of girls. Everything is in her: art, intelligence, wisdom, compassion, beauty. She is an enigma. She’s an icon, something that is unmatched. Her talent, her beauty, everything is unmatched. But our friendship and fondness grew much later.”
