Recently, fans and admirers of Manisha Koirala (and most of all, the actress herself) heaved a sigh of relief when they got to know that their favourite film star had been cured of cancer.

Manisha K was diagnosed with cancer in late 2012 because of which she disappeared from the film radar. She underwent the requisite treatment and now, as the actress posted on a social networking website on May 15, she has been completely cured. Manisha K has called the recuperation her ‘rebirth’. We hope that she will return to the film business with the same vivacity and vigour which she has shown over the years.
