Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala received a thoughtful response from Princess Kate Middleton after reaching out about their respective cancer battles.

“I wanted to reach out to HRH The Princess of Wales to send my good wishes, particularly due to my own experiences,” Koirala, 54, told a Nepalese publication, according to a translation shared by Hello! Magazine on Tuesday, October 29. “I am deeply heartened to receive such a warm response from her and wish her the very best of health.”

The actress, who has gained notoriety in Bollywood, was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in 2012 and has since received treatment. Koirala recently traveled to London to visit cancer patients at Ovacome, an ovarian cancer charity.

“I want to use my voice to not only support cancer patients but also to raise awareness about the need for equitable healthcare access and the importance of knowing the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer,” Koirala’s statement continued. “Having faced cancer myself, I know how isolating and challenging the journey can be, and I believe it is essential that we all play a part in changing that reality for others.”
