I can honestly say that in the beginning of her marriage to Prince I really didn't care for her, but I think that was just the fan part of my thinking. Now I really do like her. I like the fact that she appears to be an independent woman and that she does so much for the community. I think that she probably has been really good for Prince and I hope that if their still together that she continues to make him happy and that she continues to be the beautiful woman that she is .

what's to have an opinion about? she just seems like she's someone who's trying to live a life.

Exactly!! That's great because she has her own identity and not "just Prince's wife."

i'm glad she's there for prince. he needs someone stable, someone solid and strong to help him recover from the hip replacement surgery. i think the fact that she has spent so much time working with rain forest natives helps her in the context of volunteerism, because they too use paint on their faces. maybe i'm wrong but that's my opinion

I think Mani is cute and she appears to be a sweet person.

and generous too. she donates a lot of time, energy and money to her charitable endeavors. like that 'bicycles for the elderly' program she initiated in toronto.

the only thing that ever gives me pause is when i hear about the rumors. i know there are tons of rumors on boards like this and they're nothing more than speculation but could it really be true that she is related to prince?

XxAxX said:

I never heard that rumor.

The only thing I have read about Mani is that she supposedly was a huge fan of P and that her goal was to be his lady. Oh yeah and that she was seeing P while he was still married to Mayte.

XxAxX said:

Well, I've for a long time thought she and Prince resemble each other. They really could be siblings! Or at least cousins.
But with that I don't mean to say that I think they are. That would just be weird. Even for Prince.

I think her nickname ought to be Manu...not Mani

SHe does? And what is that? I haven't heard her speak or anything.

PurpleCharm said:

I heard that is ALL she wanted to be...his wife. Well if that's your goal in life...more power to ya!

Well, she seems to be doing a lot of charity. Check out her little gamillah site and the pics that have been posted on some threads here (Where's Mani II? for example).

She does great things for the communities and charities that she is involved in and that makes her stand out on her own. She doesn't need to speak-good actions for others are always better than words .

superspaceboy said:

She has a secret identity. Like Spider Woman.

She's alright.

i admire the fact that she gets involved with charities..but face it people, if she wasnt married to prince, she wouldnt be doing charities because she would have to "make a living" like the majority of us. i would love to use my time doing charities, there are many i would like to get involved in, however, the paycheck issue tends to get in the way.

yawn

I don't really have an opinion of her. I'm a Prince fan and Prince is the entertainer. I've only seen her at awards shows sitting in the audience with Prince. I've never heard her speak. I basically know nothing about her. I can't have an opinion about someone I know nothing about. I think of her no differently than I would think of Prince's siblings, cousins, or aunts and uncles. Prince is an entertainer and they, along with Mani, are his family.

I really don't know much about her...she's pretty and she looks alot like Vanity to me. I don't know anything about what she's like as a person but she seems very intelligent and has alot of respect for herself. It's impressive all the charity she devotes herself to and the fact she holds a collage degree...but I'm just shocked at seeing Prince with a woman that didn't look like she walked out of Vogue or Penthouse magazine. Never thought I'd see the day where he'd be married to such a seemingly conservative woman.

I have no opinion of her personality because I haven't seen it. I first became aware of who she was when Prince came to St. Louis in 2000 or 2001 I think. She and her mother were traveling with him and she was being introduced as his wife's sister! I thought that was in poor taste and obviously very deceptive. But I don't know if that was her idea or Prince's. Either way it was strange and stupid.

There have been alot of interesting opinions about Mani so far-thanks everybody for the responses .

That's odd.

Krystal666 said:

yeah, I thought so too. I knew she wasn't Mayte's sister and I knew her mom wasn't Mayte's mother...so I was like, "okay. whatever" It was just weird and kinda creepy.

Hmmm...why couldn't he just say "This is my PA" after all she was right?

Krystal666 said:

Confusion! Chaos and disorder! That's what it is about...

XxAxX said:

I think she is as sly as a fox but she reached her goal and you gotta respect that

on second thought, maybe she IS spider woman.
