This July, the iconic Shaw Theatre in London will host an afternoon of inspiration, culture and connection as Bollywood star and cancer survivor Manisha Koirala takes the stage for a very special event. ‘An Audience with Manisha Koirala’, taking place on Sunday 13 July from 12.30 to 4.00pm, promises to be an unforgettable afternoon celebrating not only a glittering film career but also an extraordinary story of survival and strength.
Organised by Ovacome, the UK’s ovarian cancer support charity, this one-of-a-kind event offers fans and supporters the rare chance to see Manisha in person and hear her story in her own words. Interviewed by Dr Amir Khan, NHS GP and TV personality, and Fatima Patel, Managing Editor of Asian Standard, Manisha will reflect on her journey through the highs of stardom, her battle with ovarian cancer, and the resilience that carried her forward. She will also treat the audience to an exclusive reading from her acclaimed book Healed.
The afternoon will begin with a dazzling Bollywood dance performance by Binal's Dance Academy, setting the tone for a vibrant celebration of South Asian culture. The programme will also feature a fundraising auction in aid of Ovacome, helping to raise vital funds and awareness for ovarian cancer support services.
Doors open at 12:30pm, with the main programme beginning at 1:30pm. For those opting for a VIP experience, the event includes priority seating in the front three rows, access to a private VIP lounge with refreshments, and an exclusive meet-and-greet with Manisha from 3:30 to 4:00pm.
Standard tickets are available at £35, while a limited number of VIP tickets offer enhanced access and premium benefits. All ticket proceeds go towards supporting Ovacome’s life-changing work. Accessible seating and free carer tickets are also available – simply contact the team during booking or reach out via fundraising@ovacome.org.uk or 0207 299 6654.
For businesses and individuals looking to support the cause further, a Bronze Sponsorship Package is available for £500, which includes two VIP tickets, prominent listing in the event programme, and an opportunity to showcase your business or family support in front of a diverse and engaged audience.
The event is proudly supported by Asian Standard (Official Media Partner), Media Hive (PR Partner), and Asian Star Radio (Official Radio Media Partner).
