Manisha Koirala was at the event, representing her home country, Nepal. The two countries celebrated 100 years of their friendship treaty. Although Manisha is more active in the film industry, her family has a rich political background. Her father, Prakash Koirala, is a renowned politician in Nepal. Likewise, her grandfather, Bishweshwar Koirala, was the prime minister of Nepal from 1959 to 1960.
The second part of Manisha’s caption read, “I took the liberty of inviting the PM and his family to trek to Everest Base Camp. Can you believe that most of the attendees had seen #heeramandionnetflix and loved it? I was thrilled!!”
The actress was last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series, Heeramandi. Since its release, the show has received several reviews, both good and bad. However, one thing that was common with most reviews was the appreciation for Manisha Koirala for her portrayal of Mallikajaan. She played the role of a ruthless and emphatic mistress of a kotha situated in Heeramandi, which is situated in present-day Lahore, Pakistan. Her character can be described as fearless, ruthless, brave, and outspoken, whose tough exterior is broken when her own girls and sisters face society’s burns.

Previously, the actress wrote a heartfelt note about getting second chances in life after beating cancer and turning 50. She wrote, “I could never have imagined that after cancer and turning 50, my life would flower into this other phase. Two reasons: 1. Heeramandi has been a significant milestone. As a 53-year-old actor who has bagged an important role in a high-profile web series, I am overjoyed that I`m not stuck playing insignificant peripheral roles, thanks to OTT platforms and changing audience profiles. Finally, female actors, technicians, and other professionals have started getting the long-overdue and well-deserved quality of work and respect in a professional environment. I am fortunate to be a part of this evolving era.”
