Prem Geet 2 promotion scandal, Aslesha Thakuri staged a wardrobe malfunction

The ‘Prem Geet 2’ team is currently in cross-country promotion tour. The tour started from Kathmandu to Damauli, Pokhara, Nepalgunj, Birgunj, Bhairahawa and to the East Nepal. In the concert held in Nepalgunj, the actress of the movie Aslesha Thakuri showed off too much skin on the stage. Aslesha wore a loose skirt and danced on an elevated platform, showing off her body.

The wardrobe malfunction of the concert was staged because:

  • Aslesha had specifically chosen the dress to show off. It was not an accidental exposure, she intentionally maneuvered in such a way that the skirt flew in the air. (Watch the attached video to see her in action).
  • One of the crew members, shared a video with a wardrobe malfunction photo on it’s cover art (with a blur on her back, creating more curiosity to the viewers).
  • The producer of the movie Santosh Sen had also shared the video on his Facebook wall.
  • The team later interviewed the actress in which she was shown crying.
