<p>"Yes, I'm getting married to Samrat. He's from Nepal, like me. But please, it is not an arranged marriage," Manisha, who will move base to Kathmandu after the wedding, said. <br /><br />"Yes, our families know one another for some years now. So there was a comfort level between me and Samrat for a very long time. Gradually the bonding grew from friendship to love. And when Samrat asked me to marry him, I agreed," she said.<br /><br />Manisha returned to Mumbai from Kerala on Wednesday to the news of her marriage all over the place.<br /><br />"I was totally cut off in Kerala shooting for Shayam Prasad's Malayalam film. I had no idea my marriage plans were being discussed in my absence. Now I see dates and venue in the papers. Like I said, the wedding is on June 19. It will take place in Kathmandu and will be attended by Samrat's and my close family and friends," said the actress.<br /><br />Manisha, who entered the Hindi film industry with Subhash Ghai's 1991 blockbuster "Saudagar", will now spend more time in Kathmandu. <br /><br />"That's where Samrat is based. He is into many kinds of business ventures including a project in alternate energy. So yes, one thing will change. Mumbai used to be my first home. Now Kathmandu will be my first home. But I'll continue to be a Mumbai girl at heart and will have a home here." So is her dream of a home in Paris over?<br /><br />"No way!" said the fiery Nepali beauty. "My dream home in Paris has just been postponed for a while. Now instead of me alone, it will be my husband and I sharing a Parisian home."<br /><br />In fact, the couple plans to honeymoon in France.<br /><br />Speaking on her work, Manisha said: "I've been cutting down my assignments for a few years now. So it's not as if I've been working frantically. I will continue to do selected films after marriage."<br /><br />As forthright as ever, Manisha volunteers the information that she broke up with her last boyfriend, American Chris Dolan, long ago. <br /><br />"We split quite some time ago. But we continue to be friends. That's the way I like it in my life. Even when a relationships ends, the friendship continues. I don't like any negativity around me. I'd like all my friends to wish Samrat and me a happy married life."<br />Samrat apparently is shy of the limelight. <br /><br />"He had his picture removed from a social networking website as soon as our marriage was announced. Samrat will have to get used to public attention after we get married," she said.</p>
