Manisha met Sunak as Nepal celebrated 100 years of its ‘friendship treaty’ with the UK.

While sharing the pics on Instagram, Manisha wrote in caption, "It was an honor to be invited to 10 Downing Street to celebrate United Kingdom - Nepal relations and 100 years of our friendship treaty."

"It was such a pleasure to hear the Prime Minister @rishisunakmp speak fondly of our country #nepal. I took the liberty of inviting the P.M. and his family to come trek to Everest Base Camp."

"Can you believe that most of the attendees had seen #heeramandionnetflix and loved it ? I was thrilled!! 🙏🏻," she concluded,

Manisha portrayed Mallika Jaan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s debut web series Heeramandi.

Earlier Manisha had penned a long note about bagging the role at 53. She wrote on Instagram, “Heeramandi has been a significant milestone. As a 53-year-old actor who has bagged an important role in a high-profile web series, I am overjoyed that I’m not stuck playing insignificant peripheral roles, thanks to OTT platforms and changing audience profiles. Finally, female actors, technicians, and other professionals have started getting the long overdue and well-deserved good quality of work and respect in a professional environment. I am fortunate to be a part of this evolving era.”

She added, “Today, when I am receiving so many accolades, I can’t help but remember the doubts and anxiety that plagued me when I was about to start shooting. Still recovering from the dreaded C, would my body be strong enough to deal with the intense shooting schedules, heavy costumes, and jewelry, and perform a role requiring so much nuance and effortless effort?”

She concluded, "To you, who think your time has come and gone, whether it’s due to age, illness or any setback, never give up! You never know what could be waiting for you around the bend! I’m deeply grateful for your love and generosity of spirit!" (All images: Instagram/@m_koirala)
