About me

View profile
I am a Nepal-born actor and sociologist whose artistic journey spans over six years of work in film, theatre, and visual media. My artistic journey spans six years of film, theatre, television commercials, and music videos, marked by emotionally resonant performances and a bold screen presence. Offscreen, I am a scholar of caste, gender, migration, and inequality in South Asia, currently pursuing a Master’s in Sociology at central department of Tribhuvan University. My academic work explores the voices of rural, marginalized communities and the structures that silence them. Whether I am embodying a character onstage or analyzing caste hierarchies in rural Nepal, I try to bring sharp empathy and fearless inquiry to everything I do. I try to bring to each role an unparalleled depth shaped by myacademic grounding in Sociology and Journalism. Myperformances are more than characters—they are embodiments of voices from the margins. My background in qualitative research on caste, migration, and rural inequality informs a performance style grounded in empathy and authenticity. Whether on screen or stage, myartistry is a dialogue between performance and social justice. I am fond of storytelling and that is one of the key reasons of me joining the theatre and becoming a Theatre Artist.  Acting is the only way for me to express things better. 


"Every role I play is rooted in lived realities"
The stories that I want to tell, The stories that are mostly unheard of.
