Manisha Koirala On When The Doctor Told Her She Had Cancer: "I Thought I'll Die"
Manisha Koirala recently spoke candidly about her health and revealed that she thought she was 'going to die', when she was diagnosed with cancer.
Manisha Koirala also shared her views on politics, life, and work at a special event hosted by Here & Now 365 at The Chambers, Taj 51 Buckingham Gate, London.
Reflecting on her personal battle with ovarian cancer in 2012, she shared, '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."
In conversation with Manish Tiwari, founder of Here and Now 365, she shared her views on Nepal's political crisis.
'Every leader undoes what the previous leader did. That's why democracy doesn't seem to work in Nepal. No government lasts. I believe Nepal needs a monarchy on top so there's some balance," said the Heeramandi actress.
Asked how she balances her family's political legacy with her own global fame, she said, 'I love my country deeply. But I worry, there's a longing for dignity and stability. We need to rebuild institutions, not just governments.'
The actress spoke about her Bollywood career spanning over three decades and recalled 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!'
She starred in acclaimed films like 1942: A Love Story, Bombay, and Dil Se, but the fame took a toll on her, 'I burned out. I was working 18-19 hours a day… Slowly, I lost direction.'
During the discussion, Tiwari suggested she could lead a global film project to showcase Nepal beyond the obvious.
The actress said, 'That's a seed you've planted today… let's see what grows.'
Concluding on a lighter note, she said, 'The Koirala women are so liberated, girls want to be a Koirala but no man wants to marry a Koirala girl!'

Woah Vicky says she's deleting Instagram to get married, become a housewife days after Antonio Brown drama: 'Any takers?'
Internet personality and Instagram influencer Woah Vicky, whose real name is Victoria Rose, is going viral for a new claim, which can very well be another publicity stunt. She recently tweeted that she's trying to delete her Instagram so she can focus on getting married and becoming a housewife. The post comes just days after her online spat with former NFL player Antonio Brown. Woah Vicky says she's tired of being single, outlines her dream man In a post shared on X this Sunday, Vicky, who has 3.8 million Instagram followers and previously went viral for faking her own kidnapping, announced she's officially over single life and ready to settle down. 'I'm trying to get married, delete my Instagram, and become a housewife,' she wrote. Outlining her ideal partner, she added, 'He has to be tall, dark, and love God and Jesus Christ—we need to be equally yoked and doing really good. Being rich and an athlete would be nice because I live a good lifestyle. I'm healthy, but you don't have to be an athlete. You do have to make good money, though. My dad was rich; I came from a rich household... I just want a man. I'm tired of being single. God, this is my prayer. Any takers?' I'm trying to get married delete my Instagram and become a housewife. I need a husband. He must be dark tall love God, Jesus Christ cause we have to be equally yoked and doing really good. Rich and athlete would be nice because I live a good lifestyle. I'm healthy yeah but if not… "I want to get married and have 4 kids mixed kids," she wrote in a separate post. I want to get married and have4 kids mixed kids Netizens ask, 'What do you bring to the table?' One user wrote, "And what do you bring to the table that will attract a man like this?" Another shared their detail as opposed to her requirement, writing, "I'm a short married fat poor atheist will that do? I still have hair (back only)." One chimed in, "Making demands like this contradicts your so called love for God. Let me save you." "SHOCKING! I wonder when you will release your trad wife and closer to God courses," added one user. Woah Vicky and Antonio Brown's feud explained Notably, Vicky's post comes just weeks after her feud with Antonio Brown made headlines. It began when the 25-year-old shared a cosy pic with Brown, reigniting their dating rumours. However, in response, the former NFL star made crude and sexually explicit comments about her on social media. Responding to the selfie, he wrote, "Fan h**, stay on my d***'. 'I fingered weed residue in her p****… Stop posting me, cracker. I don't f*** with you, crackhead ahhh.' Vicky responded days later, denying any connection to Brown's claims. In her statement, she made it clear that his comments were not only disrespectful but also untrue. 'I don't smoke weed,' she said, refuting part of Brown's post that suggested otherwise. Vicky also implied that Brown's remarks came out of nowhere and that she had no idea why he targeted her in such a public and demeaning way. This feud quickly became a trending topic because both figures are known for their controversial public personas. Brown has a history of erratic behaviour online, often making headlines for his unpredictable posts and feuds. Meanwhile, Vicky, who gained fame through viral videos and controversial statements, has frequently been in the spotlight for stirring drama online.
