Actor Manisha Koirala has left for Nepal to visit the flood-hit region of Terai.
The 47-year-old actor, who is a Nepal national, took to Twitter to share that she was on her way to her home country to contribute in the relief work.
"First, it was earthquake and now it's floods... My heart sank with devastating news... I'm travelling to Terai with (the) UNFPA team... Hoping, praying to be of some use in this crisis..." Koirala wrote.
