Manisha Koirala has spoken about her changing relationship with food, saying she has moved from restriction and guilt towards nourishing herself, enjoying meals and listening to her body. The actress shared the message on Instagram on Thursday alongside a photograph of herself eating. Koirala said she now wants to care for and respect her body rather than remain in conflict with it. She was last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s streaming series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. The actress, who recovered after ovarian cancer treatment in the United States, has also appeared in films including Bombay, Khamoshi: The Musical, Dil Se, Gupt, Company and Sanju.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Personal comments about food and body image are not the same as medical or nutritional advice. Anyone changing their diet after cancer treatment may need guidance tailored to their health history, medicines and current recovery needs. Registered dietitians and treating doctors can assess those factors, while mental health professionals can help when guilt or body-related distress affects daily life. Koirala’s message gives no specific diet, treatment plan or clinical recommendation to follow.
