Manisha Koirala won the battle with ovarian cancer in 2014 and she is “forever grateful” for it. She took to Twitter to share a collage of a picture during her cancer treatment and another picture of herself enjoying the fresh mountain breeze.
“Forever greatful for second chance to life...gm friends.. this is an amazing life and a chance to live a happy & healthy one,” she wrote. Her tweet has received thousands of likes and retweets on the microblogging site.
In an interview given to Hindustan Times last year, Manisha opened up about the uncertainty she went through when she was diagnosed with cancer. “You do not know if that long treatment, of a minimum of six months, will get you out of the tunnel, and you’ll be fine and healed,” she said, adding that this feeling of unpredictability changes people.

I literally started seeing joy in small things like walking on the grass, the breeze on my face, looking out of my bed at the sky and clouds, sunsets and sunrises.”
“With us, what happens is, the longer you live, slowly that fear fades away and we change to a large extent. But I really believe we need to remember all the lessons of life, otherwise we might go back to being complacent, being ungrateful; basically, go back to where we were before,” she added.
