Mumbai: Decades after ‘Agni Sakshi’ became a hit in the 1990s, fresh comments from the film’s writer have reignited curiosity about the reported relationship between its lead stars, Nana Patekar and Manisha Koirala.

According to Indian media reports, the writer said in a recent interview that Patekar and Koirala became particularly close while filming the movie, with a strong emotional bond developing between them.

The writer suggested that the actors’ off-screen connection also contributed to the intensity of their on-screen chemistry, helping make their performances appear more natural and convincing.

Rumours about a romance between the two actors were widely discussed in Bollywood during the 1990s. The writer’s remarks have now brought those long-standing reports back into the spotlight, although they primarily reflect his account of their relationship during the film’s production.

The comments have sparked renewed interest in the personal story behind one of the era’s memorable on-screen pairings.
