After giving birth to her first baby, Nepali Actress Arunima Lamsal hasn’t been able to get a good movie for the last couple of years. The only movie she had done after 19 months of giving birth to her child was ‘Urvashi’. In the upcoming movie, Arunima will be featured as a Dalit mother.
Arunima is excited about the character as it is the first time Arunima is featured as a Dalit woman. She is also satisfied that the producers have fulfilled all her demands. The movie is directed by Sachinraj Amatya and the shooting will start on the Holi day. Arunima confidently told that she will actively start acting in movies in coming days.

It has been less than a year since Sanchita Luitel gave birth to a son.

Nepali actresses Richa Ghimire and Sanchita Luitel and going to give birth within a couple of months. Richa is expecting in a month and Sanchita in two months. To welcome the new child, Nepali movie artists organized a special ceremony. In Nepali tradition, to be moms are fed beaten rice and yogurt (dahi chiura) before the childbirth.
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.

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)
