In an interview with ANI last year, Manisha Koirala shared how she felt when she was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer back in 2012. She said that during that time, the actress believed she was not going to survive.
The Dil Se star said, “I had no clue that it was the last stage of ovarian cancer. When I was diagnosed in Nepal, I was very fearful, obviously, like everybody else, extremely. We were in Jaslok Hospital. There also, when the doctors came, the two, three doctors, the top doctors and I spoke to them, I felt I was going to die. And I felt this was the end of me."
After surviving the cancer, Manisha Koirala said she “knew one thing, if I got a second chance at life, I had to go and fix the score because life gave me so much. I felt I was the one who ruined everything. So I wanted to correct that mistake. I felt responsible towards my work because there were so many fans I had disappointed by doing bad films. I prayed that if I got a second chance, I really wanted to do the best that I could and not disappoint my fans. So I felt Heeramandi was that for me. I really put my every effort into that."
In 2018, Manisha released a book titled Healed, where she shared her journey and through her book, she hopes to give support to other women who are going through ovarian cancer.
