Rekha Thapa supports Sumina Ghimire on phone scandal
UPDATE: In response to this article, Rekha has stated that the statement wasn’t made on anybody’s support or protest.
Nepali actress Rekha Thapa has supported Sumina Ghimire and accused the journalists at onlinekhabar of creating such an environment. She accused journalists being irresponsible to the private lives of actresses and causing unnecessary tension.
In a page-long statement titled ‘We artists aren’t robots’, Rekha had quoted the incidents of the death of actress Shrisha Karki and actress Jesika Khadka (Jyoti Khadka). She also accused journalist of focusing on Namrata Shrestha on the case of the release of her sex video and not talking about the male involved in the video.
Lack of responsibility in Nepali actresses – Sumina Ghimire, Jharana Thapa and Rekha Thapa
In a few of the recent incidents it is seen that, Nepali actresses are the most irresponsible people in the film industry. Ethics and responsibilities are tied with their professionalism. Let’s analyze some of the recent incidents involving Nepali actresses:
Sumina Ghimire threat
The most recent incident, actress Sumina Ghimire threatened a journalist in a very unprofessional way. She could have sent the same message more effectively by stating it in a diplomatic manner. After the release of the audio of her communication with the journalist, Sumina has shown how low she can stoop. It won’t be easy for Sumina to regain her popularity and respect in the film community.
Jharana Thapa smoking
Actress Jharana Thapa is one of the most successful actresses in the industry. In a latest photo released in her Facebook profile Jharana is seen enjoying Hukkah (Shisha) and blowing smoke in a restaurant in Kathmandu. Smoking is a personal choice but, advertising it by publicizing the photo in public is considered unprofessional. Public usually consider celebrities as their role models and some blindly copy everything their favorite celebrities do.
Sumina Ghimire going through a bad time
Actress Sumina Ghimire was successful in raising to fame in a short time. She got opportunities in a lot of movies but, none of the movies could be commercially successful. The viewers haven’t liked Sumina’s latest release, ‘9 O’clock’ in which, she is featured in a hot role.
With these failures, Sumina should be having her worst time in the movie industry. That might be the reason, Sumina threatened a journalist on writing her failures in movies. An online journalist Bijaya Awaj received a hateful call from the actress in which she told that she couldn’t write bad things about her and she also threatened the journalist.
