4. Manisha Koirala
Actress Manisha Koirala was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012 and has also written a book on her struggles called ‘Healed: How Cancer Gave Me a New Life’.
A report quotes her saying, “Well, there were moments that I never ever wanted to recall in detail because even today when I think about them, I feel numb. So when I was writing the book, I struggled… I gave up in between so that I could avoid remembering them. However, my publisher was extremely supportive and I finished the book.”
5. Lisa Ray
Actress turned writer Lisa Ray had gained a lot of attention with her role in ‘Four More Shots Please’. However, the beauty has had struggles of her own. She beat multiple myeloma cancer in 2009 and had also bravely shared her story with everyone.
Sourced from a report, we found how just how brave Lisa really is. She says, “My doctor was scared because after he announced to me that I had multiple myeloma, I didn’t react. Even though he said it was incurable and fatal. In my mind, I was thinking that my body has been trying to give me signals for months, and I was ignoring them. Then I got this strongest possible message. Intuitively, I knew something was wrong. But I didn’t have the courage to do anything, because I was trained to ignore what my body was telling me.”
6. Rakesh Roshan
Bollywood ace actor Hrithik Roshan’s veteran filmmaker dad Rakesh Roshan was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2018. Of course, he too recovered successfully saying he owes it to his strong mentality. Talking about it in an interview he says, “I was at Hrithik’s place when I got a call that I had tested positive in the biopsy. It was Dec 15 (2018), I clearly remember. I got a bit scared when I was told that my tongue may have to undergo a cut and do some grafting. I said ‘I don’t want to do all this’.”
