The gorgeous Manisha Koirala is one of the most critically acclaimed actresses of the '90s and has often swooned us with her spectacular performances.

We need to spread the awareness on the disease and all the stories that are filled with hope need to be told and retold. Lets be kind to ourselves and to the world. I'd pray for everyones health and wellbeing."

In an interaction with author-journalist, Sathya Saran, Manisha had revealed that there was a time when she used to ask her doctors the much-dreaded question - 'how much time she has left'. But with the passage of time she had made peace with fear and death. She had shared:

"There was a time I would ask the doctors to give me a guarantee of how much time I have, but gradually, I made peace with fear and death. That’s what taught me to make the most of all I have, and it has now become an extension of my personality."
