In a recent interview, Bollywood diva Manisha Koirala reflected on her journey of surviving cancer and how the difficult diagnosis and her battle with terminal illness made her confront some rather uncomfortable truths.

My priority is my immediate family, no matter what. They come first in my life, everybody else later..” she revealed.
