In an interview with NDTV, Manisha reflected on the profound impact of her health struggles stating, “There are, somewhere, unfinished things in my life.As you grow older, you accept your reality. There are so many dreams that you realize are not going to happen, and you make peace with that. Motherhood is one of them”
She acknowledged the emotional turmoil of facing ovarian cancer and the subsequent realization of not being able to bear children. However, she emphasized her resolve to embrace life’s twists, affirming, “What’s gone is in the past, and let me do my best with what I have.”
Addressing the possibility of adoption as an alternative path to motherhood, Manisha disclosed her contemplation on the matter. Despite considering adoption, she recognized her predisposition to stress and anxiety, ultimately opting to cherish her role as a godmother. As of now she is more focused on her aging parents and said being the center of their universe, she now enjoys flying to Kathmandu, Nepal more than ever.
