The text from the original article I wrote a while ago:

Archana is an actress of two Nepali films ‘Jism’ and ‘Chhesko’

She got an instant popularity because of racy photos she shared in Facebook.

The instant popularity vanished as soon as it appeared.

The popularity in social media was sudden and short-lived.

These days, she is trying to create a controversy so that she could enjoy the popularity again.

But, her attempts are not working this time.

Fake marriage of Archana Peneru

The actress of ‘Jism’ and ‘Chhesko’, Archana Paneru got an instant popularity but, she couldn’t sustain the popularity for long. The popularity in social media was sudden and short-lived. Now, when she is unknown to may, she is trying to create a buzz in media. It seems, her attempts are not working this time.

A while ago, Archana announced that she got married to a foreign guy. She also shared photos of them together in her Facebook profile. But, when the “news” didn’t make any headlines and nobody actually believed in her, she has tried to un-do the marriage. I didn’t write about the marriage at that time because of the suspicion of it being only a propaganda. It now turned out to be true.

Watch the following video report about what had happened.

Nepali Movie – Jism (Archana Paneru)

Nepali Movie – Jism
Starring – Archana Paneru, Surendra Budhathoki, Subhekshya Thapa etc.
Director – Raju Giri

About ‘Jism’

A movie made under Raju Giri Production, the movie ‘Jism’ is the first movie the controversial actress Archana Paneru signed. The debut movie of Archana however became another movie titled ‘Chhesko’ as the movie was released before ‘Jism’. Both ‘Chhesko’ and ‘Jism’ flopped.

The director signed in Archana after she became popular after she wanted to become a model like Sunny Leone. The movie was named ‘Jism’, to indicate that it was similar to Sunny Leone’s Bollywood debut. But, by the time of the release of the movie the relation between the actress and the director turned sour and she didn’t participate in the promotion of the movie. The movie features the cinematography of Rameshowr Karki, editing by Mitra Dev Gurung and music by Yogesh Kaji.

Star Cast of ‘Jism’

The movie features new actors – Archana and Surendra Budhathoki in leading roles. The director Raju Giri is known for being the director whose relationship with the actresses turns sour as the movie nears the completion. The history repeated in ‘Jism’ and Archana didn’t show up in the dubbing. He had to use somebody else’s voice in the moive. Archana didn’t promote the movie and even told that it wasn’t her movie at all. She threatened to complain the Raju Giri and the production to block the release of the movie.

The only attraction of the movie was the popularity of Archana. But, by the time of the release her popularity has diminished to a very low point. She was found to lack acting and dancing skills. The movie features Surendra Budhathoki, a debut actor, opposite to Archana Paneru.

After the failure of ‘Jism’ and ‘Chhesko’, released one year ago (release news of ‘Jism’) Archana hasn’t signed in any more movies. She has started a dance bar in Kathmandu in partnership with her mother and a friend.

Nepali movies named after weapons – Trishul, Khukuri to Hasiya (Video)

I have prepared an experimental video abut a discussion in Twitter about Nepali movies. This is the first in the series – a very dull and completely uninteresting topic. Although, the topic wasn’t interesting at all, the response among Twitter friends was very good. So, I prepared a 3 minutes long video about the discussion.

Watch the video first:

The discussion topic was:

That translates into, “The movies named after weapons – Hasiya, Khukuri, Khurpa, Haityar … What are the other such movies?”

The Film Development Board (FDB) chief, Raj Kumar Rai was seen at the press meet of upcoming release ‘Chhesko’. The movie produced last year and ready to release at that time was delayed because of the earthquake of 2015. Before the release next week, the movie producers had added actress Archana Paneru in some scenes. The movie is promoted as if Archana is the lead and most important actress in the movie. The actress who is debuting in the movie had been one of the most controversial actress in the history of Nepali movie industry.

The presence of Raj Kumar Rai in the event was surprising as he was the one who was against Archana Paneru entering the film industry. Because of that, Rai had delayed the approval of ‘Jism’, the Raju Giri movie which was supposed to be the first movie of Archana. Watch a video report:

Raj Kumar Rai had also ordered the arrest of Archana and the entire ‘Jism’ team in Pokhara. They later patched up and the movie was approved.

Types of mothers in Nepali film industry, celebrity mothers and the mothers of celebrities

There are different types of mothers in Nepali film industry. Some mothers are celebrity mothers others are housewife mothers. I found a nice compilation of different types of mothers in which some mothers are like Sunita Paneru, the mother of actress Archana Paneru. Sunita did something no other Nepali mothers have done or might do to her daughter. It is strange, how a mother can encourage her daughter to smokes and drink. That is the reason she is in the top of the list.

Other mothers are celebrity mother themselves like actress Karishma Manandhar, Jharana Thapa, and Suvekshya Thapa. All these mothers have grown up daughters who are old enough to be featured as actresses. Despite of their old age, they still are featured as young girls in the movies.

Archana Paneru authorized to be an actress by the government, Jism approved by FDB

I am pretty sure, the story of Archana Paneru, her debut movie ‘Jism’ and the role of Film Development Board (FDB) and FDB Chief Raj Kumar Rai is much more interesting than the film itself.

Giri and his team prepared a story around Archana and borrowed the name of the movie Bollywood actress Sunny Leone debuted in Bollywood with. Sunny debuted in ‘Jism 2’ and Archana is all set to debut in ‘Jism’. The script and the details of the movie was submitted to the government agency FDB for approval.

The news was shocking to many film industry insiders. At the same time, the hype of Archan was too good to ignore. Archana was invited to a meeting by some producers and directors. Right after the meeting, Archana named the producers who had asked for anonymity. Some named the incident, “playing with dirt,” it was bound to get you dirty.
