Another comment – Script is quiet good but we couldn’t get the right message. If I have my say, I am totally disappointed because of songs which were in Hindi. It could be better if they were in Nepali language. I am a fan of Saugat Malla but, this was one of his mistakes. . She should have been in leading role.

Initially she was in affair with actor Anoop Bikram Shahi. They were quite public about the affair until thing went bad in their relationship. Anoop was so into the relationship that he had also inked Malin’s name on his wrist.
When they worked together in ‘Leela’ in 2016, the relationship between the two was expected to be renewed. (Watch ‘Leela’ here) It seems, they got away further as Malina has found a new soul mate. The new boyfriend of Malina is the actor debuting in her upcoming movie ‘Rani’, Shahrukh Tamrakar.

I wrote about the blunder Niti Shah made and how it is creating a backlash in my previous post. Miss Nepal 2017, Nikita Chandak, has written a post in support of Niti and asked everybody not to go after her because, she thinks, Niti did mistake like every human does. Here is the full status of Nikita:
Last time I had posted on wishing Niti luck for her coronation night.
The morning of November 14th when I woke up, I found so much of hate comments for her that she doesn’t deserve and so did I delete the post.
She is a human being like all of us. Mistakes happen and sometimes the days just aren’t in your favor. Sometimes you just can’t express your thoughts in a way that everyone else is looking for.
So, I request all of you to please understand. She has always been loved by all of you and love is what everyone deserves, motivation and positivity is what everyone deserves. So, let’s spread love, let’s spread positivity, let’s support, empower and encourage each other.
