The 54-year-old actress is one of the most popular and highest-paid actresses of her time. She made her acting debut with the Nepali film Pheri Bhetaula in 1989, and later debuted in Indian cinema with the Hindi drama Saudagar in 1991.

She was then seen in films such as Bombay, Agni Sakshi, Indian, Gupt: The Hidden Truth, Kachche Dhaage, Mudhalvan, Company, 1942: A Love Story, Akele Hum Akele Tum, Khamoshi: The Musical, Dil Se.. and Lajja.

Over the course of the next decade, she worked in unconventional and art-house films, such as the survival drama Escape From Taliban, Elektra and I Am.

It was in 2012, when she was diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer and underwent a year-long treatment.

Manisha made a successful recovery by mid-2014 and returned with the coming-of-age drama Dear Maya in 2017.

True that! The new generation is blending global exposure with Indian values. It's not about rejecting the West, but about choosing what's best from both worlds and contributing back home. More power to them.

Respectfully, while the sentiment is nice, it's also a bit of a privileged perspective. Not everyone has the financial means to travel the world and then "choose" to come back. Many of us never left to begin with, by necessity.

As an expat living in Delhi, I see this trend among my Indian colleagues. They do their Masters in the US or UK, gain incredible experience, and then return to start ventures here. The energy in India's startup scene is proof of this homecoming.

It's all about balance na? You take the professionalism and systems from outside, but you keep the family values, the festivals, the food, and the warmth of India. That's the real win.
