As Netflix prepares to release its much-talked-about series "Heeramandi" on May 1, all eyes are on actors making their comebacks on screens. One of the actors who will be seen after a gap is Manisha Koirala. But do you know where the seasoned actress' royal personality, which is also portrayed in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali series, comes from? Well, we can only guess and relate it to her remarkable family heritage. Koirala, renowned for her compelling performances in Indian cinema, now steps into an important role in this historical drama, connecting her illustrious film career with her equally storied background as the granddaughter of Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala, former Prime Minister of Nepal.
Born into a politically prominent family in Nepal, her grandfather, Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala, was a democratic visionary who served as Nepal's Prime Minister in the early 1960s. His commitment to democracy and social reform has been a source of inspiration for many, including Koirala herself, who has often spoken about the influence of her grandfather on her life and career choices.

Over the years, Koirala has carved out a niche for herself in Indian cinema with acclaimed performances in films like "Bombay," "Dil Se," and "1942: A Love Story." However, her role in "Heeramandi" is set to showcase her talent in a new light, combining her rich acting prowess with a narrative deeply embedded in South Asian history.
The series is not just a return to form for Koirala but also a homecoming of sorts. After battling cancer and making a courageous comeback, her participation in a project of this magnitude and historical significance marks a milestone in her illustrious career. Speaking about her role, Koirala expressed enthusiasm for the depth and complexity of the character she plays, which has allowed her to explore new dimensions as an actress.
Critics and audiences alike are eager to see Koirala¡¯s performance in "Heeramandi." As Netflix queues up the series for its global audience, it is poised to become another jewel in Koirala's crown of cinematic achievements.
