Manisha Koirala has achieved a lot in the field of acting but defeating cancer has to be the biggest achievement of her life. The actress was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012 and it took her three years of hardship untill she was declared cancer free by 2015. As the country observed National Cancer Day on Sunday, Manisha took to Instragram to inspire people who are going through the treatment and also expressed respect towards those who lost their lives to this deadly disease.

Sharing a bunch of pics from her treatment days, Manisha wrote, "On this National Cancer Awareness Day, I want to wish everyone who is going through this arduous journey of cancer treatment, a lot of love and success. ‘I know the journey is tough, but you are tougher than that.’ I want to pay my respects to those who succumbed to it and celebrate it with those who conquered it.”

She added, "We need to spread the awareness on the disease and all the stories that are filled with hope need to be told and retold. Let’s be kind to ourselves and to the world. I'd pray for everyone’s health and wellbeing. Thank you."
