Sajja’s sister-in-law, Bimala said, “One of my relatives told me that there is this guy who is interested in Sajja and wants to get married to her. After hearing about this, we decided to meet the person and now… as they say ‘the rest is history’. It has just been a week that they have known each other and us as well… and they just happen to click! Some days back they got engaged and today they are getting married.

Do you know Nikhil Upreti and Sanchita Luitel children?

Posted on by Anand Nepal

It might sound like a puzzle, but it is not:

Nikhil Upreti has three children. But his wife, Sanchita Luitel has only two children. Who is the third?

Well, Nikhil has two wives. Although he is still married to both of them, he is seen mostly with Sanchita and his children with her. The eldest son, from his first wife, seem to be left out. I made this conclusion based on the review of the Facebook profiles of Sanchita Luitel and Kopila Upreti. While Sanchita is sharing photos of Nikhil with his children in her profile, Kopila doesn’t share photos of Nikhil with his son. As Nikhil doesn’t have a Facebook account, his wives are the sources of his information.

Sanchita Luitel’s marriages

Beautiful actress Sanchita Luitel was still in her teens when she decided to get married. The first marriage, with Aakash Shah didn’t go well from the beginning. The families were not happy by the marriage. After a short while they decided to separate and divorced.

They might not be as popular as their husband, but they are equally important in the lives of our idols/superstars. Let me introduce you to the wives of Top 10 Nepali Actors:

Too cheap; What is the rate of a Nepali actress?

Posted on by Anand Nepal

Nepali actresses come very cheap when compared to their male counterparts. The actress Rekha Thapa, who claims to be equivalent to a male actress, and always works in female-centric movies, is paid less than most of the male actors. Rekha’s rate is Rs. 5 lakh. Actor Anmol KC is paid about five times that amount. Another actor Pradeep Khadka is also paid more than four times that amount. In Rekha’s last movie, she also paid her co-star, Aryan Sigdel, 3 times the amount she expects others to pay her.

Is it a female dominance or a discrimination? Are the actresses not demanding their worth?

First let’s see who is paid what amount watch the video report:

List of the pay rate of Nepali actors:

  • Anmol KC – 25 lakh for ‘Kri’ (Anmol’s father, Bhuwan KC is co-producer of the movie)
  • Pradeep Khadka – 23 Lakh for ‘Lilibili’
  • Aryan Sigdel – 15 Lakh for ‘Rudrapriya’
  • Dayahang Rai – 15 Lakh for ‘Mr. Jholey’
  • Saugat Malla – 9 Lakh for ‘Mero Paisa Khoi’
  • Paul Shah – 8 Lakh for ‘Shatru Gate’
  • Nikhil Upreti – 6 Lakh for ‘Sanrakshan’

The well known actors Bhuwan KC and Rajesh Hamal both reportedly demand Rs. 6 Lakh for a movie.
