Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala pens emotional tribute to brother Siddharth on his birthday

Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala shared a heartfelt tribute on Tuesday to her brother Siddharth Koirala, reflecting on the emotional strength and unwavering support he has provided during some of the most difficult periods of their lives.

Marking his birthday, the Dil Se actress took to Instagram to express her deep admiration and gratitude for Siddharth, calling him the ‘apple of our family.’ Accompanied by a series of warm photos, Manisha’s post highlighted the depth of their bond — especially during her battle with cancer and their mother’s recent surgery.

“Happy Birthday to my sweet and wise brother!” she wrote. “Your goofy jokes, your warm presence, and the laughter you bring have always been a joy. But what truly stands out is your strength and depth. During my illness and mom’s surgery, your grace and maturity comforted us all.”

She continued, “You’ve grown into a remarkable man — a devoted husband, a loving father, a caring son, and the most incredible brother anyone could ask for. May God bless you abundantly and fulfill all your dreams.”

Siddharth Koirala, who began his career as a co-producer with Manisha in the 2004 film Paisa Vasool, later gained acclaim as an actor in Manish Jha’s critically lauded film Anwar. His contributions to the entertainment world also include writing for the American TV documentary Terrorism: Bio Attack.

The touching tribute offers a rare glimpse into the close-knit bond between the siblings, with Manisha’s message resonating deeply with fans and followers who praised the actor’s honesty, vulnerability, and love.
