MUMBAI: Bollywood Actress Manisha Koirala, a cancer survivor, turned 44 this August. The actress says that now she has finally reached a place where she can take the responsibility of another life. The actress who never married had wanted to adopt much sooner, but couldn’t, after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Manisha says she would’ve adopted a baby girl earlier, but for her sudden health issue.
“After my ovarian cancer was cured I was advised to give it three years before my body would be considered safe from the disease. Those three years would be over next year. That’s when I’ll feel confident enough to take care of a new life. That’s when I’ll officially adopt a child,” she told India Today.
Also there are reports circling around that she is a possible contender in bagging the role of yesteryear actress Meena Kumari in an upcoming biopic to be produced by the legend’s step son, Tajdar Amrohi. Stating that this news is only a rumor, Manisha said “I am not aware of these developments, nor has anyone contacted me with regard to the role.”
When prodded by India Today if she desired a life partner, Manisha said, “I’ve always fallen in love with the wrong people. I’ve ended being hurt, but have never been disillusioned by love. I still look for love. I still crave to be in a perfect relationship, though I know it may not be possible to find it. I now long to find that perfect love in my relationship with my child.”
“I am now looking forward to some good work, a stress-free life and maybe the right life partner one day. Meanwhile, I’m now getting ready to bring my child home. I feel she would complete me in the way no other person can,” she added.
“I’ve decided to adopt a baby girl. In my own way, I can start my own family,” the cancer crusader told a leading daily.
It’s heart-warming to see the brave and beautiful Koirala take this big step in life.
