Bollywood actor Manisha Koirala paid a visit to BJP MP Anil Baluni who is fighting cancer at a hospital in Mumbai on Sunday. Koirala herself is a cancer survivor.

Baluni shared his experience of meeting Koirala on Twitter. He wrote, "Renowned actress Manisha Koirala came to visit me in hospital. I sincerely thank her for boosting my morale in fight against cancer. She herself defeated cancer valiantly and shared her experiences with me. Her story of grit and courage was quite motivating. Thank you @mkoirala Ji."

On December 5, BJP's national media chief Baluni was visited by international cricketer Yuvraj Singh, another cancer survivor.

Wishing the BJP Rajya Sabha MP from Uttarakhand for a speedy recovery, Yuvraj had tweeted, "Yes We Can, Yes We Will...defeat cancer! Wishing Shri Anil Baluni all the best as he bravely fights his ailment and gets ready to serve people with renewed vigour and resolve....Good Luck."
