Manisha Koirala is a Nepali citizen.
Actor Manisha Koirala has earned flak for showing support towards the controversial new Nepalese map. The new map released by Nepal shows areas such as Lipulekh and Kalapani under its territory.
“Thank you for keeping the dignity of our small nation..we all are looking forward for a peaceful and respectful dialogue between all three great nations now,” Manisha wrote in her tweet. It was in reply to Pradeep Gyawali, Nepal’s foreign affairs minister, who had tweeted about the area getting included in the Nepalese map.
Manisha’s tweet did not sit well with Indians on Twitter. The tweet got her over 2,700 replies. “Pls go and earn in nepali film industry,” read a tweet. “You are supporting the illegal map of Nepal to support India instead of you on such an issue which makes your identity from India. The Indian film industry gave you a lot of fame and money and that how you repay us #bycott_mkoirala,” read another. “Get the fu** out of India now,” wrote another Twitter user. “Ungrateful to the nation that gave you everything. Nice,” read a tweet.
Manisha is a Nepali national. She has worked in Bollywood for almost 30 years in films such as Dil Se, Gupt, Bombay and others. She was last seen in Netflix film Maska.
India on Wednesday said such artificial enlargement of territorial claims by Nepal will not be acceptable to it and asked the neighbouring country to refrain from "unjustified cartographic assertion".
"This unilateral act is not based on historical facts and evidence. It is contrary to the bilateral understanding to resolve the outstanding boundary issues through diplomatic dialogue," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said. "Such artificial enlargement of territorial claims will not be accepted by India," he added.
Srivastava also asked Nepal to respect India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, hoping that the Nepalese leadership will create a positive atmosphere for diplomatic dialogue to resolve the outstanding boundary issues.
"Nepal is well aware of India’s consistent position on this matter and we urge the government of Nepal to refrain from such unjustified cartographic assertion and respect India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity," he said.
The new map was released by Nepal's Land Reforms Minister Padma Aryal during a televised press conference in Kathmandu.
Today Nepalese prime minister called indian virus more dangerous then china and Italy virus....I have lost all respect for Nepal...hope Indian government closes the border and stop helping nepal....if they don't want to be diplomatic then why should we bother...
Nepal is licking feet of china papa these days. what do you expect? I hope in future , it won't ask for india's friendship again . Stay with new papa👎🏼
And lol people bashing india for taking stand protecting their own land. Keep going India👍🏼 These are our territories and INDIA have right to protect it , no matter what some people say! Should we give away all of our land to make some people happy on internet? Ink bus chale poora india ko tod dale👎🏼 Apne desh ko protect na kare🤪
Jiska man kare aajaye claim karne india ki land ko aur indian govt should stay silent otherwise deserve bashing if they want to protect their land?. What logic🤪
Glad to see Govt's aggressive stand . And they need to protect it no matter what. 😃 If it is toxic nationalism, then better we have it bcoz protecting your own land is more important👍🏼
Edited by Ronaldo_fan - 3 years ago Before commenting about Nepal, lot of Indians need to know the real truth and believe on evidence. Every person has love fo their nation and so do we Nepalese people. you guys need to go and check through sauguali treaty happened between Nepal , india and british east india company.If Nepal want to claim its land then, Nepal should clain Sikkim, Darjeeling, dheradun etc. These states were part of greater Nepal too. India needs to stop interfering in Nepal politics. India was the one who gave arm and ammunition to maoist to start civil war . All maoist top leader were residing in delhi and was protected by indian government. Leave Nepal alone. Nepal really need to close border with india. Open border policy is not working. All Gurkha soldiers from india needs to return to Nepal and protect its land. we need to go to international court to solve this issues. Let india provide evidence and we will provide our evidence too. truth will prevail.

India always helped Nepal...we have always being the first one to reach Nepal in times of natural calamities... Nepalese citizens get a right on government jobs in India which our own citizens covet and can give bribe for.....so go cry your lie somewhere else....
all I see here is back stabbing india and licking China's boot..... It's okay at least the true face is out.... Now wait till china takes over nepal like it did with Tibet....it already tweeted about mount everest being part of china.... Soon it will call nepal as integral part of china and kick Nepalese people out....

don't be ignorant. Speak truth. Nepal has helped india too during the war, lot of indian people are working in Nepal too. Go and check in google remittance to india , Nepal is on 4th remittance to india. Nepal was only the hindu country in the world but indian supported maoist movement to create civil war which killed 16000 people and created political instability. Once maoist came in power, they removed Nepal as hindu country and dethrone king.
