It is time to say goodbye to 2071BS and welcome the new year 2072 BS in Nepal. On the new year, we are reviewing the year. In this post we are reviewing the Nepali movie personalities we lost in the year. Three great loss of Nepali film industry this year are:

Shree Krishna Shrestha (death on August 9, 2014)
Alok Nembang (death on November 9, 2014)
Pradeep Rimal (death on February 6, 2015)

Shree Krishna Shrestha

The death of actor Shree Krishna Shrestha was a very unexpected and hurtful death in the Nepali film industry. Shree Krishna died within a month of his marriage to actress Sweta Khadka. He died a day after the release of his home production movie ‘Kohinoor’. Shree Krishna had an image of lover-boy and a good dancer in the movies. He was liked by viewers and colleagues. Both of his home production movies ‘Kaha Bhetiyela’ (watch ‘Kaha Bhetiyela’ here) and ‘Kohinoor’ were super hit movies.
