I am sure he will come out of it as a winner and I will pray to god that he comes out of it as a winner."

Talking about journey overcoming deadly disease like cancer, Manisha said: "I feel it was a kind of gift for me from life. Whenever we face any difficulties, we get upset about it but I feel difficulties comes in our life to teach us something that we didn't know about ourselves. It gives something good in return.

I read one statistic that in developing countries between every three individual one individual is diagnosed with cancer that is the reason why we should do early check-ups because if you can detect it in early stage then you can treat really well."
