A bad phase is not an unsuccessful period but it can teach you new lessons, actress Manisha Koirala said on Sunday.
On the sidelines of the Jaipur Literature Festival, she said: “Life is not a bed of roses. There will be highs and lows in everybody’s life. However, one should know that this is a difficult time and tomorrow shall be good phase.”
According to Manisha, cancer has changed her as a person and she has become kinder, more gentle and has started enjoying every perspective of nature.

She said a tie-up between pharmaceutical companies and the government can provide cheap medical treatment for patients in India.
“I absolutely agree that cancer treatment is expensive in India, but this working can help ease the burden of patients,” she added.
However, she also emphasized that people must have a healthy lifestyle so that they may not need to go to the doctor.
Manisha said: “We need awareness on cancer in our part of the world, that is developing countries, as the developed countries are quite aware on the same. They visit doctors on time and hence, cancer is caught at the initial stage and they get cured on time. My body was giving me signs and symptoms, but I was unaware of the cause. Had I been aware of it, I would have gone earlier and got cured earlier.”
