Some time ago, Manisha Koirala took to her Instagram to share a series of pictures from her meeting with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The actress visited him at his residence in 10 Downing Street, representing her native country, Nepal, to commemorate 100 years of the friendship treaty. She expressed joy in discovering that many people had watched her latest release, “Heeramandi,” during the visit.
Along with the photos, she wrote, “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!!”
For those unfamiliar, Manisha is the daughter of Nepalese politician Prakash Koirala. Her grandfather, Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala, served as the Prime Minister of Nepal from 1959 to 1960.
‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ marked the digital debut of the director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The web series featured an ensemble cast including Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Fardeen Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, Sharmin Segal, Taha Shah Badussha, Shekhar Suman, Adhyayan Suman, and more.
