When actress Manisha Koirala revealed that Shah Rukh Khan’s “Dil Se” did have a different ending that she preferred to the one seen on television, she blew the gaff.

Mani Ratnam’s ‘Dil Se’ dominated movie theaters in 1998; however, its box office performance fell short of expectations.

The public’s interest in Shah Rukh and Manisha’s romance grew over time, finally achieving a classic cult reputation.

Initially seen as a half-baked tale, Ratnam’s portrayal of love was now viewed as a work of poetry in motion, enhanced by its striking scenery and poignant conversations that remain ingrained in the hearts of ardent admirers.

Shah Rukh portrays Amarkanth Verma, an employee of All India Radio, with grace. Manisha plays Meghna, who is connected to a terrorist sleeper cell and is subsequently revealed to be Moina.

The novel ends with both protagonists finding atonement in one another’s arms when the bomb concealed under Moina’s dress detonates, after Amar’s repeated apologies and request that Moina accept her love in the climax.

But decades after the film’s premiere, Manisha revealed that Shah Rukh’s character wasn’t meant to die in the original screenplay.

Additionally, the cause is greater in the earlier screenplay that we had decided upon for the hero, the terrorists, and the men since she is going to mutilate herself whatever; however, in the current version, he goes and dies as well. However, he allows her to die in the original version,” Manisha told ANI.

He claims that if you’re good for this cause, even my cause is bigger; therefore, we can all agree on that in some way. However, they made last-minute changes,” she said.

Manisha favored the original conclusion, which portrayed unrequited love, even if the big-screen version of the story, which showed Amar’s obsession with love triumphing over hatred, provided some respite to viewers.

“I had enjoyed the first one at the time. I stated that because they couldn’t have merged into one. It seems as if unrequited love might sometimes be considerably more fascinating than love that is satisfied in this life or the next. “Jo paa lete hai maut me ya zindagi me vo utna mazedaar nahi lagta jab unrequited hota hai aadha rhe jata ha pyaar kisi ka thoda sa bhaata hai kahi na kahi,” Manisha observed, adding that it is not as engaging as the unfulfilled love tale.
