The model Adhiti Budhathoki is going to debut in an upcoming Nepali movie ‘Kri’ opposite to Anmol KC. The model struggling in Mumbai had agreed to be featured in ‘Kri’ because of the popularity of Anmol KC and the success of all of his previous movies.

As Aditi lives in India, not much of her activities are released in Nepali media. Although she hasn’t been successful in being featured in big screen movies in India, she has done some music videos there. Aditi is featured in a Punjabi music video of a singer named Sandeep. (The music video is attached at the end of this post)

10 NRN Actresses in Nepali movie industry

I wrote an article last year – 7 NRN Actresses in Nepali movies, Shristi Shrestha to Meruna Magar. Now, when I go back and read the article, I realize that I had failed to define what NRN actually mean. That is a very crucial factor to determine who is NRN and who is not.

Who is a Non Resident Nepali (NRN) actress?

The term Non Resident Nepali (NRN) is very loosely used in practice. Nepali citizen who go temporarily to foreign countries to work or study are often referred as NRN. If that were the case a lot of Nepali actresses can be termed NRN because, actress Priyanka Karki, Nisha Adhikari, Ashishma Nakarmi etc. had studied in the USA and had lived there for a while. Reecha Sharma had also gone to a foreign country for a training. A lot of other actresses have gone to India for training or work. We have a lot of Indian actresses in Nepali film industry. We don’t consider actresses like Niruta Singh, Tripti Naadkar, or Sushmita KC as foreign or NRN actresses, although they have their parental home in India and might be carrying an Indian passport.

National anthem of Nepal

When I was a little kid, we had to sing the anthem everyday in the morning.
