It has been less than a year since Sanchita Luitel gave birth to a son.
On Monday, she gave birth to her second child. The child was born 10 days late than the scheduled birthdate of August 10. Sanchita gave birth to a healthy girl child in the same Norvic Hospital she gave birth to her first child.
A presentation of BN Films, Nepali film ‘Vijaypath’ features top Nikhil and Sanchita in leading roles. The movie features cinematography by Shiva Dhakal, bckground music by Dinesh Sunam, choreography by Kamal Rai / Gobind Rai, action by Astha Maharjan, music by Basanta Sapkota / Santosh Rai, story by BP karki, script / dialogue by Pradeep Bhatta, and editing by Bipin Malla,
The first child was scheduled to be delivered on August 10 but took a little while before he was born on August 21, on Krishna Janmastami. It is a coincidence that Sanchita’s next baby’s delivery date is also the same – August 10, exactly a year after the delivery date of her first child.
For the last two decades, Nepali film industry has been ruled by Rajesh Hamal and his craze hasn’t diminished to date. The new comer actors had tried to follow his path, but none have succeeded. Hamal represents masala types of movies with common ingredients like action, comedy, songs, and glamorous actresses.
After the release of "Sano Sansar" and "Kagbeni", Nepali movies had stepped in new direction creating a sharp contrast between the two groups of film makers.
UPDATE – 2016:

Divorce in Nepali movie sector has become a common happening these days. Divorce brings in pain and problems and doesn’t come easy for both the parties involved. The traditional Nepali society has made it even worse in terms of setting a ‘bad example’ in the society.
Let’s analyze some of the high profile problems in marriages of the personalities of Nepali movie industry:
Bhuwan KC / Sushmita KC – Bhuwan KC is known for his affairs with various ladies. Bhuwan KC’s first marriage with Bijaya KC ended when Bijaya went to USA with their kids. Bhuwan found Sushmita KC as his second wife. That too didn’t lasted long and they ‘divorced’ until they reunited again after the release of “Ma Timi Bina Marihalchu”. But, they have divorced again. Bhuwan’s affair with Sharmila Dangol didn’t go far and he is living alone these days. We won’t be surprised if Bhuwan and Sushmita get together after the release of ‘Sathi Ma Timro’ as predicted by friends in Films Nepal. (update- they didn’t get together, but there is rumor that Bhuwan is having an affair with Jiya KC)
On the 13th of January, Friday four Nepali movies are being released in Kathmandu.
Although all the four movies Loot, Bazar, Sadak and Masti claim to be a hit, it is no secret that there simply aren’t enough Nepali movie lovers to watch more than one new movie in theaters.
Ojashree Films P. Ltd. presents Dayaram Pudasaini’s
Nepali Movie – Jindagi – the life (2011) Starring – Nikhil Upreti, Pramod Deep, Asha Poudel , Laxmi Giri etc. Director / Writer / Producer – Raju Rayal
Actor Nikhil Upreti (real name Dinesh Upreti) and his sister Laxmi Kharel were summoned by Gorkhapatra Sansthan to pay Rs. 2,93,832.61 by publishing a payment notice with their photos, in Gorkhapatra daily.
Nepali movie crew including the actors and actress were in festive mood in the Dashain. All the shootings were halted for the biggest festival in Nepal. Most of the crew members celebrated with tika and jamara.
Here are some of the highlights of how the film personalities celebrated their Dashain:
The first child of the unofficial marriage between Sanchita Luitel and Nikhil Upreti is born on August 21, 2011 at around 11 PM in Kathmandu. According to the reports, the doctors in Norvic Hospital had performed caesarean section operation on Sanchita. Although Nikhil Upreti and Sanchita had lived together for about a year in Mumbai, the marriage between the two is not official.
Nikhil Upreti has a one-year-old son with his first wife, Kopila Upreti, with whom he hasn’t divorced yet. Nikhil Upreti arrived in Kathmandu yesterday to meet Sanchita.
Looks like, it is the season of actresses being mom in Bollywood and in Nepali movie industry. Soon after the news of Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai expecting a child, rumor of pregnancy of another actress, Lara Dutta, proved to be true.
The reel life chemistry of actor Nikhil Upreti and actress Sanchita Luitel was appreciated those days while they appeared together in screen. Rumors were everywhere about their love affair though it was not accepted by both. However truth can’t be hidden. After working some numbers of film they both get married. This time too they planned to hide their wedding like suspense that can be seen in the films. So they moved towards India and planned to be settled there.
