Above: Manisha Koirala

Manisha! All followers of my Bollywood film page know that i adore this legendary Nepalese indian actress and
it doesn't matter if she hasn't played a decent role this millennium. After Dil Se my heart was lost. I sincerely hope
that she will yet again get substantial roles suitable to an accomplished actress. In 2010 she made her 2nd nepali
film Dharmaa the first since 1989. Manisha has been treated an operated for ovarian cancer and seems to be OK
again and hopefully cancer free. I, your many fans all over the world, We Love You Manisha!
