While reports state that actress Manisha Koirala has been diagnosed with cancer, Mumbai's Jaslok Hospital, where the actor was admitted, has said that she was discharged on Friday morning and is "absolutely hale and hearty." The exact reason behind her illness is not yet clear.

"Manisha was discharged (Friday) morning. She has requested not to disclose anything about her health… so I am not allowed to speak about it," Krishnakant Dasyam, spokesperson of Jaslok Hospital, said.

The actress was rushed to the hospital last Wednesday after she fell unconscious. Reportedly, Manisha has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Slamming the media, the hospital CEO Dr (Col.) R R Pulgaonkar said, "Manisha is fine. She is a human and can fall sick. We have to respect the privacy of our patients. She was treated but I can't reveal details. It is not right to speculate."

In the meantime, Manisha was freshly spotted at the airport, on her way to the United States. Apparently, she is going there for further tests and treatment.

The actress has decided not to speak about the illness until the process of healing begins formally.

Manisha Koirala is known for her performance in movies such as 'Bombay', 'Khamoshi' and 'Company'. The actress has worked in several Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam movies and hails from a prominent family in Nepal.
