Given the high
secrecy he has maintained till now, it is highly unlikely the rumor to be true. If the rumor is true, there is a high probability that the identity of the girlfriend of the Nepali superstar to be revealed for the first time.

Actress Arunima Lamsal has flown to the USA on 4th September 2012 with her husband. She has left her 10 month-old daughter with her mother.

At the time when most of the artists visiting USA have stayed there permanently, some think Arunima might also have such intentions. When asked, Arunima told that she is going to the USA for a visit and she doesn’t have any intention to stay there.

In the past actresses like , Pooja Chand, Saranga Shrestha, and Sajja Mainali are living in the USA. Among the male actors, Saroj Khan and Ramesh Upreti are also living in the USA.

Baburam with Obama – a Nepali flag would have made it nicer

In the following photo, our Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai and Hisila Yami are posing with the US President Barak Obama and Michelle Obama. The smile are great on all four faces but a bit odd are the flags – none of them has a Chandra and a Surya. The US flag represents Obama couple but there is no Nepali flag to represent the Bhattarai couple.

By the way the photo is taken, it is pretty clear that the photo is not a causal one and they meant it to be as official as they can. 

The Americans would certainly not care to have an odd looking Nepali flag there but, the advisors of our PM should have pointed out the obvious – to have one of those flags to be a Nepali flag. I think, our PM should have asked to take the photo somewhere else if they were not willing to hoist our flag.

Some have even pointed out the fact that the tie on Baburam’s neck look a bit bigger than it should have and a saree would have looked better on Hisila. I don’t have such preference towards Daura Suruwal (and, I guess, it is no longer a National dress). But, the flag is a different case.
