Jiya KC deleted Bhuwan KC from Dashain Tika photo

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Anand Nepal

Like other actor and actresses, actress Jiya KC also shared her Dashain photo in Facebook. But, unlike other photos, Jiya’s was a bit different. Jiya had ruthlessly cropped away the face of the person who was offering her Dashain Tika. The photo looks odd as a small portion of the hand is seen on the forehead of smiling Jiya. That is not how one shares Dashain photos (see celebrities photos of Dashain 2015):

It is no secret that Jiya is having an affair with actor Bhuwan KC and the person offering Tika is Bhuwan. The following photo can be used as the reference for the location and the identity.

I believe, this is another proof that the sexy image Jiya had created for herself still haunts the relationship between Bhuwan and Jiya. I had written a detail report on this issue a couple of months ago based on them being together during the shooting of ‘Dreams’. In their time together in beautiful locations in Mustang and Pokhara, they had shared photos at the same locations, separately.

Why did Rajesh Hamal take Dashain tika on the next day

Posted on October 24, 2015October 24, 2015 by Anand Nepal

The biggest festival in Nepal, Dashain, is celebrated for a long time. Navaratri starts on Ghatasthapana and runs for nine days to Dashain Tika. Tika also extends to 5 more days to visit places and receive Dashain Tika. Because of this flexibility, actor Rajesh Hamal waits a day before he starts taking Dashain Tika. That is because his mother had died on Dashain Tika and he performs the traditional Hindu rituals on the day, Shradha, and don’t take tika.

Video Report:

Although, some people believe that, one can take Tika after the traditional rituals, Rajesh prefers to wait a day to take Tika.

In the past years, Rajesh used to go to the USA to celebrate Dashain and Tihar with his sisters. This year, because of NRN conference in Kathmandu his sister and her husband, Khagendra Chhetri, were in Kathmandu. He received tika from Khagendra and his mother’s maternal aunt.
