The news of more than 150 artists joining Nepali Congress came by surprise to many. It was particularly surprising to those who heard their own name in the news. For example, actress Mala Subba was surprised on her name included in the list of artists joining the party.
It turned out – the artists were invited for a tea party at the residence of the party president. All those who attended the party were told to have joined the party. Actor Aayush Rijal told that he was in the residence of Sushil Koirala only for the tea party. He clarified, he has no intention of joining any political parties. Aayush told that he was invited by director Suresh Darpan Pokharel for the tea party. It was Pokharel who told about the 150 artists joining Nepali Congress.
Actor and director Ramesh Budhathoki also claimed not to have joined Nepali Congress. He admitted to be supporting the party but, he isn’t a formal member of the party. Actor Jiwan Luitel has the similar statement. Sctress Jharana Thapa is currently in Europe tour, she is also told to have joined the party.
Aayush Rijal’s statement however conflicts with the following photo that shows the banner stating – Artist’s Party Entry Program. There is no mention of tea party in the banner.
Actors Binod Shrestha and Shyam Aryal have also stated that they haven’t joined the party.

Actress Sushma Karki will not be taking Dashain tika this year because of the death of her father. When a closed family member dies, auspicious ceremonies are not conducted in the year ahead. Although she won’t be taking tika she will enjoy the festival with her mother and family members. Like many other actresses, actress Sushma Karki also doesn’t animal sacrifice during Dashain. She says, "I feel scared even on the thoughts of killing animals in festival."
Other actresses who had their close family member died in the last year include Neeta Dhungana whose mother had died in February. Neeta will celebrate Dashain with her father and brother although they won’t be taking any Dashain tika.
Actress Jharana Thapa had lost her mother-in-law during her pilgrimage and wasn’t found. She is also not celebrating Dashain in the memory her mother-in-law. Jharana is on Europe tour to participate in the cultural programs during Dashain.
The ‘Loafer’ actress Rajani KC had recently lost her father. She is still mourning the death and will not be celebrating the festival.
Actress Arunima Lamsal has admitted that doing bed scenes after marriage are easier. In an interview, Arunima analyzed marriage and acting career of Nepali actresses.
Arunima believes, the married actresses in Nepali film industry are more talked about that the unmarried ones. She has observed the success rate rise in Nepali actress after marriage. Arunima says, the subject is not about marriage. It is about the talent. If the artist is capable, being married or not doesn’t make much different.
About bed scenes, Arunima told that it is much easier to act in a bed scene after marriage. She didn’t elaborate the reasons like being experienced or feeling safe during the act. By her statement, the mother of a child is willing to be featured in steamy bed scene in movies. Arunima is waiting the release of two of her movies ‘Urbashi’ and ‘Pipal’ in near future.
Arunima’s observation about the success of actresses after marriage is true to some extent. A marriage brings stability and security in actresses in the film industry. Married actresses face less number of scandals and some even believe actresses gain respect and dignity after marriage. Although many actresses stop acting after marriage, some have prospered after marriage. For example, the top actress of Nepali film industry Rekha Thapa raised to fame after marriage. Same holds true to Jharana Thapa, Karishma Manandhar, Sushmita KC etc. A lot of actresses like Jal Shah, Saranga Shrestha, Bipana Thapa left the film industry after marriage.
