Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala is known for her acting skills and elegant aura. However, not many are aware of the hardships faced by this Nepalese beauty. In her TEDx talk at Jaipur, Koirala describes the toughest phase of her life and how it helped her gain perspective. It was the diagnosis of ovarian cancer that made her introspect and take charge of her life. She also talks about how she stood tall through her trying times and won the hard battle against cancer.
Manisha now promotes healthy living through her motivational speeches and campaigns. She has worked as the UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador and is now actively engaged in giving back to society in one way or another.
The soul-stirring talk encourages us all not to take our lives for granted and be grateful for the little things we have.
