5 Years After Her Divorce, Manisha Koirala Reveals The Reason Behind Her Failed Marriage

There are very few celebs from Bollywood who, after having to go through a bad relationship or a failed marriage, muster the courage to talk it. Here’s one actress who recently came into the news precisely because of this. 

The actress here is one of Bollywood’s favourite 90s actresses, Manisha Koirala. The diva who is loved for her roles in movies like Saudagar, 1942: A Love Story, Akele Hum Akele Hum, Gupt, Bombay and Khamoshi, recently opened up about her failed marriage with businessman Samrat Dahal. She met Samrat on Facebook before tying the knot.

The 46-year-old actress married Samrat on June 19, 2010, according to traditional Nepali rituals and the couple’s divorce came through in 2012. The same year, Manisha was diagnosed with cancer for which she flew to New York for treatment. In 2015, Manisha announced that she was cancer-free and gearing up to resume her career.

Speaking about adopting, Manisha said: 

"This December, it'll be five years since I got completely cured. If everything goes well, I'm planning to adopt a baby girl. I just hope everything goes right and it all falls into place. I want to be there for the child, and I'll make sure that I plan my life around this. I'm super excited about this new phase in my life, and I can't wait for it to begin.”
