Actress Manisha Koirala has called for greater compassion and responsibility towards animals, saying kindness should extend beyond pets kept at home to every animal living on the streets.
The actress, who was last seen in the streaming series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, shared pictures from her recent visit to Nepal, where she attended an animal welfare event organised as part of Kukur Tihar celebrations. She was also seen with Nepal’s First Lady, Sabina Kafle, who initiated the event.
In a post on Instagram, Koirala described Kukur Tihar as a celebration that draws attention to animals, which she called the “voiceless members” of society.
She said she was delighted to be part of the initiative and highlighted the important place animals hold in human lives.
“Compassion should go beyond our homes and extend to every animal on our streets,” she wrote, urging society to become kinder, more caring and more responsible towards all living beings.
The actress also shared a family moment recently as her father celebrated his 80th birthday. Expressing happiness at seeing him healthy and energetic, she revealed that he had maintained his fitness routine even on his special day.
According to Koirala, her father had walked three kilometres in the morning, completed 12,000 steps during the day, slept for eight-and-a-half hours and finished his morning exercises before attending his birthday brunch.
She said she had never seen him healthier, happier or more full of life, crediting his disciplined approach to health and fitness.
