Last week Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala was operated upon for ovarian cancer in the US. Thankfully the surgery went well. After that the first chemotherapy session was to take place, which by the time these lines go into print, will have been done. Reports suggest that the actress was very nervous about the chemo procedure and had requested her fans to pray for her. We pray for Manisha K’s safe treatment and quick recovery. The brave woman that she is, we’re sure she’ll recuperate in no time.
