KATHMANDU, June 5: Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala and her family have tested negative for coronavirus.

According to her they will stay in home quarantine for a period of two weeks,” Koirala told Setopati.

But she has become a beloved for Nepali people for her support to Nepal.

KATHMANDU, June 2: Popular Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala has arrived in Kathmandu on Tuesday.

The 49-year-old Nepali actress entered Nepal through Belhiya of Rupandehi district as all the international flights remain suspended until June 27 due to the nationwide lockdown enforced to control the COVID-19 pandemic.

It has been learned that she has arrived in Nepal with her family.

She, along with her family, underwent a health screening before entering Nepal through Belhiya, said Rupandehi Chief District Officer Mahadev Pantha.

Koirala was trolled by Indian media after she took to the twitter to show support to Nepal’s landmark move to release its Nepal administrative map that incorporates the encroached lands of Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhrua.

But, the daughter of Prakash Koirala and granddaughter of former Prime Minister Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala has earned a huge respect from Nepali people.

KATHMANDU, May 25: Actress Barsa Raut admitted it was her “wrong choice of vocabulary” that brought her to a huge controversy and explained she neither meant to support India nor offend the journalists of Nepali media.

The 26-year-old actress became a clown among public and social media users after she, in an interview, accused the journalists of both Nepali and India media of exaggerating the border row to invite “fight” between the two neighbors, and even expressed shame “how she would face her Indian friends in this situation”.

At a time when the entire public is celebrating Nepal’s May 18 landmark move to release the revised administrative map of Nepal incorporating the encroached territories of Kalapani, Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura, the controversial comments of the actress of superhit comedy drama Chhaka Panja put her in an awkward position in front of the Nepali people’s anti-Indian sentiments.

The public had already had enough of India’s big-brother attitude after India in November last year released its new political map including these three Nepal owned territories inside its border, which was followed by India’s “unilateral act” of opening a 79-kilometer long link road to Mansarovar via Lipulekh.

Raut’s unfortunate interview also came days after Bollywood based Nepalese actress Manisha Koirala– who was born in the politically prominent Koirala family–earned heart across Nepal for supporting Nepal’s move for new Map in a tweet here.

Raut was trolled by social media users who took their anger to Twitter, Facebook and Tiktok, some even asking India to take Barsa Raut and return Nepalese territories.

“I spoke in favor of Nepal in the entire interview. But the 15-second time frame where I chose the wrong words really hurt the sentiments of the Nepali people… and I beg my apologies for that,” said Raut in a television interview Janata Janna Chahanchan.

“I am a daughter of Nepali and I always love my motherland. I have never supported India,” she added.

Raut clarified she had tried to stress on the ancient old relation between India and Nepal when she used the words friends.

“But I could not express my feeling correctly through the words…which made a negative impression among the public,” she said.

“What I meant was that the border row should be resolved through diplomatic efforts so that the bilateral relationship between the two countries continue to remain positive.”

“My priority is always Nepal and Nepali people. I would never hurt the sentiments of Nepali people,” she added.

When inquired about her accusations on journalists, she said, she only targeted some media who influence people negatively.

“The Indian media have been producing contents related to Nepali lands based on fake claims, which is condemnable. Likewise, some Nepali media are creating false and bad impression on the public. I am against them. I never meant to offend the journalists.”

“Some of these channels have now been blocked in the Youtube now,” she added.

I see a sparkle of rays
In the rainy days,
I see the ease of the trip
In the midst of Nowhere,
I see a faith in idol of Shrine
In the heart of Atheist,
I see courage of Conviction
In the people of No land’s,
I see, I see, I see
Until I believe to see.

I see the care of an Angel
In the tragedy of Grievances,
I see the love of Ma
In the Character of Recklessness,
I see the desire of Slums
In the huts of Skyscrapers,
I see a flock of hope
In the eyes of Forlorn,
I see, I see, I see
Till I learn to see.

I dream, I glide, I ride,
I fight, I sight, I mobilize,
Until I believe to see
Till I learn to see…
