Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala, who made her debut with Subhash Ghai’s Saudagar, informed media that she will be celebrating five years of her cancer-free life soon.
“I will soon complete 5 years of cancer-free life, which I will be celebrating,” said Koirala at an event on Tuesday where she was spreading awareness about yoga.
Koirala was reportedly diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012 and was operated immediately. After the surgery, the actress flew to New York for chemotherapy.
“God has been kind to me. I had great doctors, teachers and family support, so a combination of everything worked well,” she added.
The actress, who was last seen in Chehere: A Modern Day Classic, is all excited about her role in the Sanjay Dutt biopic and hopes she does justice to the character.
“The whole film is between a father and son, I have a small role and I hope I do justice to that,” said Koirala, who will portray the role of Dutt’s mother Nargis Dutt.
The film also stars Dia Mirza, Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in pivotal roles.
Speaking about yoga and its importance in our daily life, the Mann actress said, “It’s extremely important to give your 100 per cent, be it studies, work or any profession and to achieve that solidity we need to do yoga.”
Other than the biopic, Koirala will be seen in a drama film, Dear Maya.
