After Simpal Khanal, her ex-husband Prasanna Poudel also marries

Director Prasanna Poudel has got married recently. The ex-husband of well known actress and model Simpal Khanal was single after they divorced a long time ago. Simpal Khanal married a UK resident, Nadeem Sewar. She has given birth to a daughter and is living with her husband in UK.

Two years after Simpal got married, Prasanna also found Shristi Khatiwada of Sarlahi to get married. According to reports, the marriage ceremony was held on Baisakh 4 at Ram Mandir of Kathmandu. The marriage ceremony was organized according to Hindu tradition.

Prasanna Poudel is a well known music video director. He debuted as a feature film director by directing ‘Swor’. He had also directed ‘Mero Best Friend’. The next project of Poudel, ‘Kamaleko Bihe’ is yet to release.

I wish Prasanna Poudel and Shristi Khatiwada a very happy married life and wish them all the best for a good future.

Simpal Khanal shares daughter’s photo, no news about husband Nadeem

It has been two years since Simpal Khanal married Nadeem Sarwar, a UK resident Pakistani youth. Right after the marriage, Simpal got pregnant and shared a photo of her belly. But, after that there was no news about where she was and how her pregnancy go. After a year, Simpal finally shared a photo of her daughter.

The daughter of Simpal is already a year old now and is named Anisa Sarwar. The exact date of birth and the current location of Simpal and her daughter is not known.

I had also prepared a video report about Simpal at that time (attached at the end of this post).

Who is Simpal Khanal?

Simpal Khanal was a well known Nepali model until she got married in January of 2016. After that, she has been away from Nepal and away from the Nepali entertainment industry. She debuted in Nepali movie industry as an actress in ‘Majhi Dai’. After the debut movie, she waited a long time before appearing in her second movie ‘Adhyaya’. Watch Simpal’s movies in xnepali:

Simpal marriage with Nadeem Sawar was controversial as he was married to the owner of a prestigious private college in London, England at the time of the marriage. It seems, Nadeem has divorced his wife a short while before he tied his knot with Simapl. Nadeem has a son with his previous wife.

After getting married, there was no news about Nadeem or Simpal for a long time. Simpal hasn’t shared any information about her husband Nadeem.

I wish Anisa a very bright future and congratulate Simpal for the beautiful daughter.

25 Divorces in Nepali movie industry

It is not only in the Nepali movie industry, divorce among Nepali couple has been in the increasing trend these days. This might be because, compromising is not in the cards of today’s youth. I think, there is nothing wrong to get out of the relationship that is not working out. But, divorce also brings a lot of pain and problems to the both the couple involved. The traditional Nepali society has made it even worse by tagging them ‘bad example’ to the society.

This post was originally written on Jan 29, 2012. In the mean time I had updated it to reflect the changes in the status of Nepali artists. I think, it is the time to rewrite the whole post.

8 Nepali actresses who preferred an experienced man to marry

The following video lists eight Nepali actresses who had preferred an already married man to an unmarried one, to get married. I think, some of them might have preferred a married man instead of an unmarried man because of their experience in dealing with women. Unmarried men usually feel insecure when dealing with a woman. Married men are more confident with women and know how to please them. Is that the main reason the following list of actresses married an already married man?

Let’s watch the following video report on the actresses before a detailed discussion on the topic:

Was Sharmila Malla looking for an experienced man?

Among the actresses mentioned in the video, actress Sharmila Malla is the only actress who had been the fourth wife, others are either third or the second wives of their husbands. It is surprising how Sharmila roped-in her husband, Krishna Malla, into her love and stopped his marrying-spree. Krishna Malla had already married three women in a young age but stopped marrying new girls after marrying Sharmila in the last 30-years they are living together.

Now, the main question, was Sharmila attracted to Krishna Malla because of his previous experiences with various women? May be, experience pays off. But, at the time of her marriage, Sharmila had no idea that Krishna Malla had married other women before her. In an interview, Sharmila told that she didn’t know about Krishna Malla’s earlier marriages until she gave birth to her son. Based on Sharmila’s statement, although Krishna Malla didn’t tell her about his previous marriages at the time of their marriage, he must have shown the understanding and the talents that only a well experienced man can show to a girl.

Do Nepali actresses dance in Dubai hotels and casinos?

In a recent rumor, ‘Dhuwani’ actress Sagun Shahi has started dancing in hotels in Dubai. That was not all, it is revealed that a lot of other Nepali actress have been dancing in star hotels in Dubai.

The hotels run by Indian nationals demand Indian and Nepali actresses to dance in their hotels and casinos. The pay of such dancers range from 2,500 Riyal to 4,000 Riyal per month. The actresses usually dance in the hotels for few months to a year and come back to do movies. The movies they do are only to maintain their actress status. The earning made in acting is no match to the earning they make in Dubai.

Actress and model Simpal Khanal has been dancing in Dubai for some time. Five years ago, Simpal had married Prasanna Poudel, but the marriage lasted less than two years. It is rumored that Prasanna wasn’t happy when Simpal started visiting Dubai.

** Original article continues**

Divorce in Nepali movie sector has become a common happening these days. Divorce brings in pain and problems and doesn’t come easy for both the parties involved. The traditional Nepali society has made it even worse in terms of setting a ‘bad example’ in the society.

Let’s analyze some of the high profile problems in marriages of the personalities of Nepali movie industry:

Bhuwan KC / Sushmita KC  – Bhuwan KC is known for his affairs with various ladies.  Bhuwan KC’s first marriage with Bijaya KC ended when Bijaya went to USA with their kids. Bhuwan found Sushmita KC as his second wife. That too didn’t lasted long and they ‘divorced’ until they reunited again after the release of “Ma Timi Bina Marihalchu”. But, they have divorced again. Bhuwan’s affair with Sharmila Dangol didn’t go far and he is living alone these days. We won’t be surprised if Bhuwan and Sushmita get together after the release of ‘Sathi Ma Timro’ as predicted by friends in Films Nepal. (update- they didn’t get together, but there is rumor that Bhuwan is having an affair with Jiya KC)
