Manisha Koirala to work with brother Siddhartha once she is back in India Siddhartha Koirala, who is actress Manisha Koirala’s younger brother, is currently in New Jersey with the family to support Manisha during her treatment for cancer. The actress is in New York with her parents, while Siddhartha and his wife and daughter Yamini are in New Jersey.
Siddhartha, who is best known for his role in critically acclaimed film Anwar, says that he will work with Manisha on Bollywood projects once her treatment is over and she is back in India.
“We will always be together. We will be working on projects and will make films together once she is back,” he said. They also plan to start a film production unit at their academy in Nepal. “We are planning to start a film production unit in Sushila Arts Academy, Nepal (a cultural academy run by the Koirala family), so the Academy will start making films soon,” he informed.
Siddhartha has in the past co-produced Paisa Vasool with Manisha, which also starred the actress. When asked about how his sister is coping, he said that she is recovering well. “It is not yet the correct time for me to say anything as the treatment is still going on. And frankly, I don’t want to talk about her illness. All I will say at the moment is that she is recovering well,” he said. The family is dealing with her illness with a strong mind and heart and they are taking things as they come. “I really have not taken time out to contemplate and reflect about what we are going through at this moment. We are just experiencing it. When it is all over, I will sit back and reflect on it,” he added.
