Recently, Manisha Koirala spoke candidly about her views on life and health at a special event hosted by Here & Now 365 at The Chambers, Taj 51 Buckingham Gate, London.

In conversation with Manish Tiwari, founder of Here and Now 365, Koirala reflected on her personal battle with Ovarian cancer.

'When the doctor told me I had cancer, I thought, this is it. I'm going to die. But by God's grace, I didn't. I learned to live again. Resilience isn't a heroic burst. It's a series of small choices, made moment by moment,' said Manisha Koirala.

Koirala also spoke briefly about her Bollywood career, recalling how she began without formal training.

'I hadn't even finished Class 12 and suddenly I was standing next to Dilip Kumar and Raj Kumar on a film set!' said Koirala.

She starred in acclaimed films like '1942: A Love Story', 'Bombay', and 'Dil Se'. (ANI)
