The stories of Bollywood actresses getting into unpleasant catfights have always taken the grapevine by storm. One such encounter was between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Manisha Koirala. Not only this, but it all started after there were rumors that both actresses had fallen for the same man. Yes, you heard that right! We are talking about model Rajeev Mulchandani.
It so happened that Manisha Koirala was rumored to be dating model Rajeev Mulchandani. But there were also speculations before this, Rajeev was in a relationship with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with whom he apparently started his modeling career. Manisha had allegedly revealed to the media that she discovered some love letters that Rajeev had written to the Devdas actress. This left the latter fuming as she considered him as a good friend and did not wish to be dragged into Manisha’s ‘breakup drama.’
In a throwback interview with Showtime Magazine, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan revealed how she wanted to praise Manisha Koirala after watching her performance in the 1995 film Bombay. However, she was heartbroken after getting to know that she had been dragged into Rajeev Mulchandani and Manisha’s breakup fiasco by the latter. The Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam actress said, “When I saw Bombay in Tamil and thought it was brilliant. I’d reached Bombay on 1st April, and coincidentally, Rajeev called me. I was exclaiming to him about how excellent Manisha was in the film and that I was planning to send her a bouquet to congratulate her. At that, he laughed at me and asked me whether or not I had been reading the papers. He informed me that Manisha claimed that she’d discovered some love letters that Rajeev had written to me. I couldn’t believe it! It came as a very rude shock to me.
