Shiva happy to get another son

Kathmandu- Despite his old age, actor Shiva Shrestha is quite romantic in nature. That's the reason behind his marrying another damsel (Rajani) as his second wife whom he found in course of his shooting. The biggest news behind his complacency at the time is that he has got a new son, Shai Sundar Shrestha, from Rajani, his junior by many years. The romantic old has already fathered two daughters and a son, now grown-ups, from his first wife. Shiva's one of the daughters has already earned name and fame in Nepalese modelling sector.

While celebrating the Pasni (food-feeding ceremony) of the 6 month-old guest according to Hindu tradition at home, Shiva had invited his old colleagues from Nepali Film Industry, friend-circles, relatives and others to evening dinner. Among the attendees were actors Bhuvan KC, Shrikrishna Shrestha, Arjun Narsingh Shahi, actress Karishma Manandhar, Sweta Khadka, Shambhu Pradhan, Nutan Pradhan, Haribansa Acharya, Madan Krishna Shrestha, Prakash Adhikari, Kshitiza Shakya, Lilu Gurung, Basundhara Bhusal, Binod Manandhar.

World Cup fever sweeps over film crews

The World Cup fever has swept over the world population now, regardless of who they are and what they do. Nepalese film artists are no exception in this regard. Actress Nandita KC, who was not much into the FIFA World Cup 2010 taking place in South Africa in the beginning, has ultimately grown very keen on watching the world's biggest football event on television. It's really difficult to wake up early the following morning for shooting after having stayed till late night, said Nandita in talks with filmnepal.com., adding that she has adjusted her busy schedule so far.

Though the story concerning football doesn't get due space in films' script, the craze for the World Cup is on the rise among other actors and actresses. It is the same case with actress Rejina who calls herself a great fan of football. "My goodness, I'm not busy in any film projects right now; it would be quite troublesome otherwise," stated Rejina with a joyful face.

Another actress and model Jharana Bajracharya has also reaped a great pleasure watching the World Cup that takes place every four years. "As I have to give time for shooting at day, I sit before television set for the football event at night," said Jharana.

Rekha not interested in politics

Actress Rekha Thapa denies her active involvement in politics now citing it's not appropriate time for the same. It's her another sensational whim. Contrary to what she said recently, she established a good tie with Unified CPN (M) Chair Prachanda in the beginning and even went to the extent of addressing a mass gathering at Biratnagar during the Maoists' general shutdown after the May Day celebration. Now is not suitable time to talk about politics, states Rekha. What an irony!

At Biratnagar function of Pyramid College of which she is brand ambassador, Rekha said, "I'm a professional artist so I won't carry any party's flag." While making it clear that she is not a Maoist cadre, Rekha added she has every rights like other citizens to like or dislike plans and programmes of a political party. Rekha consented attending a Maoist mass meeting as UCPN (M) leaders, unlike other political leaders, called on her for the function with respect the first time.
While emphasizing the need of film crew's representation in the nation's mainstream politics, Rekha expressed her regret over non-participation of the artists in the Constituent Assembly (CA) by any party, however.

Sanchita gets 'no' from director Karma

Actress Sanchita Luitel has had a tough time in India for livelihood following shortage of money. In her desperate attempts, she flew to Kathmandu with a view to making some money.

"Karma sir, I'm in the capital now and let's resume the dubbing process," Sanchita told Director of the film 'Bandi' Ramesh Gurung 'Karma' over phone. On the contrary to her expectation, Karma said 'no' to Sanchita as he had already completed the film's dubbing with another professional artist working at Prime Studio.

Director Karma was forced to finish the film's dubbing after Sanchita headed for the southern neighbour after her second marriage with actor Nikhil Upreti.

During her short stay in the capital, director Aalok Nemwang has, however, Sanchita finish the dubbing for his film 'Kohi Mero'.
