Speaking at the book launch, Anupam Kher, who is gearing up for the release of his film The Accidental Prime Minister, talked about his brother Raju Kher, who is also a cancer survivor.
At Manisha Koirala’s book launch I remembered a heroic gesture of my brother @RajuKher1 (cancer survivor) just before his surgery & how @mkoirala is looks more beautiful now. Because ‘LIFE’ has happened to her. Her book #Healed is about Courage & the Spirit of Survival.???? #BuyIt pic.twitter.com/gWN2gjNtLT— Anupam Kher (@AnupamPKher) January 8, 2019
Rekha spoke at the event too, lauding Manisha's spirit for carrying on with life even after being hit so hard.
Manisha was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012. Her memoir gives an insight into how the Dil Se actress fought the battle against cancer and how she rebuilt her life once she returned home. She had earlier said that the life threatening disease had "changed" her life forever. Manisha was last seen in Sanju, playing the role of Sanjay Dutt's mother Nargis.
