Manisha Koirala, who has been on a hiatus from Bollywood for the last two years, has given up the idea of writing her autobiography altogether.

The actress, who was detected with cancer in 2012 and still continues to travel to the US for follow-up treatments, had apparently put pen to paper and started work on her memoirs. She was already in talks with publishers too, says a source. However, somewhere along the way, the Dil Se actress changed her mind because she found it hard to be “truly honest about her experiences in Bollywood.“

She was overheard telling a leading columnist and book author at a Diwali party that she had shelved her book because the whole exercise would be pointless if she couldn't be honest. She also realised that if she did bare her heart out, she might invite negativity - something that she wasn't interested in. Apparently, she wanted to give her account of being a cancer survivor, but understood that readers would be more interested in her Bollywood journey.

The eavesdropper added that though the columnist asked her to reconsider her decision, Manisha seemed adamant.

So one guesses, if at all someone writes a biography on the Nepali beauty, then her life may unfold on pages. Otherwise, she has put a full stop to her self-written account.

The actress confirmed the development.
