Being a part of the biopic on Sanjay Dutt, Sanju, actress Manisha Koirala reveals that she has also been approached for a film on her life. Manisha, who plays Nargis Dutt in the Raju Hirani directorial, shares however that she is not yet ready to greenlight her personal biopic. She shares, “Few people have approached me for a film as well but I am not really ready. I still have a long way to go.”
Manisha believes that there are certain stories which need to be told. “I feel certain stories can touch your heart. If I feel at any point in time my story needs to be told I will most definitely do it because there is no strain in that, it’s just a human story. And if I don’t feel it, I will not do it, but I have no fears.”

She is coming out with a book called Healed, which will focus on certain chapters of her life. “I am just focusing on that right now. It is kind of a biography but it's not the entire lifespan,” she confirms.
Manisha had battled ovarian cancer in 2012, and emerged victorious. She had declared that the experience had been life-changing. In an interview last year she had shared, “Before cancer, my lifestyle wasn’t that great. I didn’t value my life so much. It’s only when I was struggling for life, that’s when I realised that I was struggling. So much money being spent, so much anguish, pain, and fear. That’s why I tell people, please enjoy [life], value [it] and live well because life is a gift.”
From eating right to taking solo trips to various destinations such as Mount Kailash, she did it all with a positive frame of mind after her struggle with cancer. Her book Healed is bound to cover these aspects of her recovery as well.
