But what was the reason behind her disappearing act? "I took a break. This is my 17th year in the industry so I took time off to do other personal things like my spiritual stuff,” the actress said.
The Ilu Ilu girl who once worked with industry heavyweights such as Subash Ghai, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Mani Ratnam now seems to have run out of steam, her last hit being Company back in 2002.
Though the grapevine is buzzing about the actress contemplating another small screen venture with a daily soap, Manisha is quick to deny it.
