Actress Manisha Koirala's autobiography, titled Healed: How Cancer Gave Me A New Life, was launched in Mumbai on Tuesday. The book launch event was attended by Manisha's close friends from the film industry and family members. Anupam Kher, who co-starred with Manisha in her debut film Saudagar, was also present at the event. Sharing glimpses from the event last night, Anupam Kher wrote on Instgaram: “Today at Manisha Koirala's book launch I remembered a heroic gesture of my brother Raju Kher (a cancer survivor) just before his surgery and how Manisha Koirala is more beautiful now than at the time of her debut film Saudagar. Because ‘LIFE' has happened to her. Her book Healed is about courage and the spirit of survival. Please buy your copy.” Jackie Shroff, who featured in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 1942: A Love Story along with Manisha Koirala, was also part of the book launch event.
