At Manisha Koirala’s book launch I remembered a heroic gesture of my brother @RajuKher1 (cancer survivor) just before his surgery & how @mkoirala is looks more beautiful now. Because ‘LIFE’ has happened to her. Her book #Healed is about Courage & the Spirit of Survival.🙏 #BuyIt pic.twitter.com/gWN2gjNtLT

Manisha was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in 2012 and was declared cancer-free by mid-2014 after an extensive treatment. She took a break from acting in 2012 and returned five years later with Dear Maya, Netflix’s Lust Stories and Sanju.
While talking about what inspired her to pen her journey, Manisha, a few days back, at the Jaipur Literature Festival said, “When I was ill, I wanted to hear positive stories of people who have fought this battle successfully. But sadly there weren’t many reported stories out there. But I sought inspiration from Yuvraj Singh and Lisa Ray’s cases. This became my reason for penning the book down,” said Manisha. We’re sure her book will be a big source of strength to all those fighting the deadly C.
