In our male dominated society, Bhai Tika and Bhai Puja are performed but, there is no mention of Didi Bahini Puja. Singer and actress Komal Oli has realized the injustice in the society and performed the sister puja on the occasion of Bhai Tika.
After the completion of the traditional Bhai Tika and Bhai Puja, Komal and her sister performed ‘Didi Bahini Puja’. The puja is a little diviation from the male-dominated tradition of Tihar. Although brothers offer tika to their Bhai Tika, the puja are exclusively done to the brothers by sisters.
Here are some highlights of Tihar celebrations of Nepali celebrities.
Actress Namrata Shrestha celebrated Bhai Tika:
Actress Rekha Thapa celebrated Bhai Tika in Morang with two of her brothers and returned back to Kathmandu to offer tika to Kamal Krishna and others.
A group of actresses celebrated Bhailo at Karishma Manandhar‘s home on the occasion of Deepawali on October 3, 2013. Among the actresses were Rekha Thapa and Namrata Shrestha.
The following photos shared by Rekha Thapa shows Namrata, Karishma and Rekha lighting sparkles fire works. The nearness between Namrata and Rekha is considered the new development in the relationship between actresses in Nepali movie industry.
After Dashain, Tihar is the second biggest festival in Nepal. One of the most colorful festivals of all time, Deepawali is celebrated by worshiping the goddess of wealth, Laxmi.

Although Rekha’s ‘Kali’ was saved from the competition of Chhabi’s movie ‘Loafer’ it’s couldn’t escape from herself in ‘Damini’. The publicity of the movie paid off and ‘Kali’ remained in theater for more than two weeks.
Last week, actress Rekha Thapa was promoting her latest release ‘Kali‘ in ‘Meri Bassai’. This week, actor Aryan Sigdel is going to be promoting his new release, ‘Madhumash’ in another comedy serial ‘Tito Satya’. ‘Madhumash’ is releasing in theaters on October 25, 2013.
