I saw an interview of Namrata Shrestha published in an online magazine Ujyalo Online. The title looked interesting but, I later realized that it was totally deceiving. After reading the whole interview, I felt I was cheated by the website.
Do deceiving titles work in online media?
The title, when translated, reads "My character represents the current generation – Namrata Shrestha"
When you are stressed out, how do you become fresh? If you ask me, I would either stroll in a park… or listen to a sweet music… not the way model Etna Karki says how she becomes fresh.
The image above is taken from the ‘Shukrabar’ magazine cover. We haven’t read the article posted in page 21. But, the title “Blue film herera fresh hunchhu,” says a lot.
Some of the questions and answers (rough translation from Nepali):
Do you have experience of sex?
Yes of course… with my boyfriend.
Have you seen Blue film?
Yes I have seen. I was 17 years old at at that time. I was very excited after watching the movie. I do watch them occasionally and be fresh.

A hat-trick of no replies is enough to prove that that the Kantipur officials are self-centered, short-sighted, and don’t know their responsibilities.

…Minority knowledgeables thought Smita as a very courageous, frank, fearless, and revolutionary woman…
If, I am sure I am right, I don’t care what others say about me. But, when I am in doubt, I start seeking palatable excuses to prove myself right! That is what Saptahik is doing by publishing the following article.

The interview probably is the first such public appearance of Namrata after the release of a sex scandal video in September 2009. The scandal however wasn’t mentioned in the interview.
Namrata has proven her acting talent in the movies Sano Sansar and Mero Euta Saathi Chha. Many of the film industry personnel and the film viewers do not want to loose such a talented actress because of a stupid video that was released accidently. The interview seems to be the first step towards the re-establishment of Namrata’s acting career. Previously, she was also rumored to host the KTV film award show, but she didn’t showed up in the event.
