The ‘Lal Salam’ actress was the CPN-Maoist cine worker. She believed in simple living and work for the party and the country. That is why she is not seen in commercial movies.

With Pramila ‘Lal Salam’ featured actors like Bijaya KC, Indra B. Thing, Dipa Sapkota etc. The movie was made on the story and the concept of Prabhakar. The director of the movie was Shivaji Lamichane. The CPN Maoist leaders Mohan Baidya (Kiran) and Ram B. Thapa (Badal) were the advisors of the movie. The ‘Lal Salam’ was produced by Revolunatory Cine Workers Nepal, a wing of CPN (Maoist).

The movie ‘Lal Salam’ is shared here.

Love Affair of Charles Sobhraj and Nihita Biswas to be made a Film

When news about marriage of Charles Sobhraj with a 20-year-old Nepali fiancée, Nihita Biswas was released I wrote “loving and marrying a killer with approval of a lawyer mother looks a bit fishy!”

Avenues TV aired an interview of Nihita in which she claimed that Sobhraj was innocent and her love was for life. I wasn’t alone on suspecting their affair. Film director Narayan Puri was watching the interview and decided to cash on the story.

“I watched the program with the girl saying confidently she knew about his past but yet was ready to marry him and I was very impressed,” Puri said. “I realized that it’s not only people with a positive image who have fans. It can happen to even a prisoner behind bars. I also realized what an intelligent man Sobhraj was and how his taking to crime was a loss for society.”

Namrata Shrestha to host KTV awards?

Now it is sure, Namrata won’t dwell on the past mistake and will come back with the bang. Some time back she decided to work in a film involving Ekata, a previous drug addict and drug abuse activist, and this time it is more challenging task she is planning to undertake – host KTV awards.

The award show hosted by Kantipur TV is one of the show to gauge the performance of movies, actors and backstage personnel. I hope, somebody will nominate Namrata on the Most Scandalous Actress of 2009 followed by Pooja Lama.

Most of the cine artists want Namrata to come back in the entertainment industry. So they are pressuring her to present herself to the public. The acting of Namrata in her past movies Mero Euta Sathi Chha and Sano Sansar were liked by many and they don’t want to lose the rising star of Nepali Cinema.

Pooja Lama Loves her friend more than her husband

The scandal, and the marriage, and break-up?

I thought the marriage was the happy ending. But, the latest news is not so promising. Poor Pooja, she should be having a pretty hard time.

Entertainment circle is heated with the gossip of difficulties in the relationship between newly married couple, Pooja Lama and Shishir Shyangtang.

Although, Pooja said that their relationship is as good as ever and they are not having any misunderstanding, Pooja is living with her friend Nisha Sunar instead of her newly married husband. Nisha Sunar is one of the best friends of Pooja and according to Pooja she is sick. Pooja says that Nisha’s husband is away and she doesn’t have anybody to take care of, so she has to live with Nisha.

That is ok, one should help friends in hard times. But, Pooja also claimed that the relationship between friends is more important than husband and wife’s relationship.
