ABOUT Manisha Koirala
Manisha Koirala: A Legacy Forged in Cinema and Resilience Manisha Koirala, a prominent figure in Indian cinema, boasts a career spanning decades, marked by both commercial success and critical acclaim. Born into Nepal's influential Koirala family, her lineage is as compelling as her filmography. Koirala's Bollywood debut in Saudagar (1991) was followed by a string of hits, solidifying her position as a leading actress. Iconic roles include the naive girl in 1942: A Love Story, the ambitious wife in Akele Hum Akele Tum, and the powerful portrayal of a terrorist in Dil Se…. Her versatility shone through in diverse characters, from the mistreated woman in Lajja to the nuanced performances in art-house projects like Escape From Taliban and I Am. Awarded the Order of Gorkha Dakshina Bahu by the Nepalese government, Koirala's accolades extend beyond her cinematic achievements. She's a recipient of three Filmfare Awards and holds the distinction of being a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Population Fund in both India and Nepal. Following a battle with ovarian cancer, Koirala’s return to the screen in Dear Maya (2017) was met with critical praise. Her memorable portrayal of Nargis Dutt in the biopic Sanju further cemented her resilience and acting prowess. Her foray into OTT platforms with Lust Stories on Netflix showcased her adaptability to evolving media landscapes. Koirala continues to be active, with her recent appearance in the upcoming series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar (2024) adding another chapter to her illustrious career. Beyond acting, her autobiography, Healed: How Cancer Gave Me a New Life, stands as a testament to her strength and inspirational journey.
