‘I felt I was going to die’: Manisha Koirala on her loneliest night after cancer diagnosis

In a recent interview with Sushant Pradhan, actress Manisha Koirala opened up about her darkest night following her ovarian cancer diagnosis in 2012. After learning she had stage IV cancer, Koirala was at Nepal's Norvic International Hospital when she received the devastating news. She described this night as the loneliest and longest of her life, feeling as if she were in a "dark space" and fearing for her life.

Despite being surrounded by medical professionals, Koirala felt isolated and overwhelmed by the diagnosis. Cancer made her realize how lonely a patient can feel, even when surrounded by others, and the experience forced her to reassess what truly mattered in her life. Koirala prioritized her family, health, and relationships, realizing that she had been neglecting her well-being in the past.

The actor also admitted that her hectic career, which involved working on multiple films simultaneously, had taken a toll on her. After her cancer diagnosis, Koirala felt a renewed sense of purpose and responsibility towards her audience, leading her to be more selective about the roles she took on.
