Koirala was born into the politically powerful [[Koirala]] family; her father, grandfather, and two of her great uncles were Prime Ministers of Nepal. Her first movie was the Subhash Ghai directed "saudagar" . She later went on to become a [[Maniratnam]] favourite starring in two of his movies [[Bombay]] and [[Dilse]]. Her inability to be choosy among films has almost damaged her career.
'''Coma Berenices''' (Berenice's Hair) is a traditional [[asterism]] that has since become a [[constellation]]. It is located near [[Leo]].

==Notable deep sky objects==
Most of Coma Berenices' stars constitute an open cluster which is not listed in most catalogues because it is spread over a huge region, more than 5 degrees across, near γ Comae Berenices. This cluster is sometimes called Melotte 111.
==History and Mythology==
This constellation, originally an asterism, is associated with a charming legend. It is one of the few constellations (with [[Scutum]]) to owe its name to a historical figure, in this case Queen [[Berenice II of Egypt]], wife of [[Ptolemy III of Egypt|Ptolemy III Euergetes]] (''fl.'' [[246 BC]] - [[221 BC]]), the king under whom [[Alexandria]] became an important cultural center.
Circa [[243 BC]], the king undertook a dangerous expedition against the [[Assyrians]], who had murdered his sister. Berenice swore to the goddess [[Aphrodite]] to sacrifice her famous long hair, of which she was extremely proud, if her husband returned safely. He did, and she had her hair cut and placed it in the goddess' temple.
By the next morning the hair had disappeared. To appease the furious king and queen (and save the lives of the temple priests), the court astronomer, Conon, announced that the offering had so pleased the goddess that she had placed it in the sky. He indicated a cluster of stars that at the time were identified as [[Leo]]'s tail, but which have since been called Berenice's Hair.
