Manisha took to Instagram, where she shared pictures of her perfectly brewed leaf tea and captioned: “My mom Sushma Koirala reminded me of how my grandfather (BP Ba) cherished his daily cup of good leaf tea.

On November 13, Manisha Koirala revealed that she finally overcame her fear of riding a cycle in a public place.
She wrote, “Overcome fear and finding joy. I finally conquered my fear of cycling in traffic today! After 2 years off the saddle, I was nervous, but a good friend Sarosh Pradhan nudged me and kept insisting I need to overcome fear. I'm very lucky to have good friends around me to guide me when I slide a bit. I'm hugely grateful !!!And to my own determination which pushed me to take the leap”.
The actress also spoke about her learning curve, and shared that fears are smaller than what they seem to be. She also advised not to hold onto expectations too tightly.
She further mentioned, “What I learned: Face your fears, they're often smaller than they seem. Balance and focus are key to navigating life's twists and turns. Hold on lightly, don't cling too tightly to expectations. Small steps lead to big victories. Mindfulness keeps you present and grounded. Joy can be found in discomfort and growth”.

I'm grateful for this experience and excited to apply these lessons to other areas of my life! Who else has overcome fears or procrastination to discover something amazing?
