Manisha Koirala "will not hit the sets" immediately on returning to India

Contrary to reports that Manisha would immediately complete her pending film assignment when she returns to India at the end of June (2013), the actress intends to devote her immediate post-illness time in India to penning down her experiences of the past six months when her life fell apart and then came together again. Though now in good health (touchwood!) the ethereal Manisha Koirala would be taking it very easy as far as getting back to the studios is concerned. Says a close friend of Manisha’s, “Manisha’s body is healing slowly and steadily. She won’t be allowed to risk infections by going into the public domain excessively. Once she returns to India in the last week of June or the first week of July she would spend her time at home writing about her experience during the illness and recovery. She wants her own experiences to help others in a health crisis.” Continues the friend, “Manisha has no idea why papers in India are carrying reports that she’s to resume acting work as soon as she returns. She can’t do that! She isn’t allowed to! She will resume shooting only from November-December.” Manisha confirmed from New York that she would return at the end of June or the beginning of July and that she would not be able to shoot before November or December.
