Manisha Koirala, who famously battled stage 4 ovarian cancer, has received “warmest wishes” from HRH The Princess of Wales. In a heartfelt letter, the Princess expressed her joy at learning that Manisha is cancer-free after such a serious diagnosis and has been able to continue her professional and charitable work.

The Princess of Wales, who herself has faced health challenges and garnered immense public support following her announcement earlier this year, highlighted how the good wishes of others have been a huge source of strength during her treatment and recovery. The letter concluded with kind wishes for Manisha’s visit to the UK, hoping that she enjoys her time during her stay in early October.

Manisha Koirala was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 and underwent treatment at the renowned Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, successfully recovered following long hours of surgery and intense chemotherapy.

During her recent visit to the UK, Manisha visited the London office of the cancer charity, Ovacome, where she met cancer patients and learned about the charity’s work in supporting those affected by ovarian cancer.

Deeply moved by her interactions with patients and the mission of Ovacome, Manisha expressed her desire to use her platform to advocate for cancer awareness, particularly spotlighting critical issues such as health inequalities in the UK and beyond.

“I wanted to reach out to HRH The Princess of Wales to send my good wishes, particularly due to my own experiences. I am deeply heartened to receive such a warm response from her and wish her the very best of health,” said Manisha. “I want to use my voice to not only support cancer patients but also to raise awareness about the need for equitable healthcare access and the importance of knowing the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. Having faced cancer myself, I know how isolating and challenging the journey can be, and I believe it is essential that we all play a part in changing that reality for others.”

Manisha’s visit to Ovacome has reaffirmed her commitment to supporting the global fight against cancer, with a focus on raising awareness and helping to address healthcare disparities. The actress also works with Impact Foundation of the Tata Hospital in Mumbai and Cancer Care in Nepal..
