Film fraternity stands beside Manisha during her hard time

Saudagardebutante Manisha Koirala has been diagnosed with cancer after she fell unconscious and has the complete film fraternity beside her. She has been admitted to Jaslok Hospital under oncologist Dr. Suresh Advani. "Manisha is responding well to the treatment and she has been referred for a few tests today. Unless we review the results, the exact nature of her illness cannot be known. And commenting about it till then will be mere speculation," said Krishnakant Dasyam, head of marketing and spokesperson for Jaslok hospital.

Manisha has also asked the hospital authorities to maintain secrecy regarding her test reports. She was once the favourite of all A-list filmmakers and the first to work with all the three Khans in Bollywood.Jackie Shroff, one of her oldest pals said, "Woh manage kar legi biru." "She is not a quitter. She has battled so much more in her life that a mere illness won't be able to defeat her." Ram Gopal Varma also spoke to TOI twice, "I have not been able to communicate with her... I've been getting these text messages about her health that got me very worried," said RGV.
