Some people say that there are more Nepali film artists in the USA than in those in Nepal. When you count the well known artists, it seems the claim is true. In the Dashain celebration in actress Richa Ghimire‘s residence in USA, a number of well known artists were seen taking the Dashain tika. And, may other Nepali artists were not there in the celebration.

This year, Dashain celebration at Richa’s home is special as Richa’s mother is with them. Dahsain is the festival in which elders offer tika to youngers. May be that is the reason there were lot of artists seen in Richa’s home. Other artists in USA like Saranga Shrestha, Pooja Chand, Jal Shah, Yuna Upreti, Usha Poudel, Malina Joshi etc. were not seen in the celebration. Saranga is currently in Nepal and is celebrating Dashain with her family members after a long time.

Here are photos of artists in Richa’s house:
