One look at the curvaceous Barbara Mori and one is apt to be mesmerized by the sensuality oozing out from her, but very few people know that sexy Barbara is strong too. The lady has fought and emerged victorious from the deadly cancer. The disease was diagnosed in its early stages and so, Mori didn’t need chemo but had to undergo an operation to have the cancer removed. By God’s grace, she is OK now but says that she makes sure to never skip her check-ups to avoid any problems.
Barbara shares this pain of hers with ‘Kites’ director Anurag Basu who himself and fought and survived leukemia. Initially, both were unaware of this fact but after Barbara spoke to Anurag about her past illness Anurag too poured his heart out to her about his battle with leukemia. “From that point we became soul buddies,” recounts Basu emotionally adding, “I feel both Barbara and I have emerged stronger human beings after fighting our illnesses. It definitely makes you understand the world around you better. My best work came after my illness. That can’t be a coincidence. When you fight death you understand life better. I’m sure it’s true for Barbara as well.”
Barbara has shared this battle of hers in Namrata Singh Gujral’s docu-drama titled 1 a Minute, to release in 2010.
