Nepal's sex symbol turns Maoists' new face

View as Slide Show | View Thumbnails

"I will endure fire but not injustice," she says stoutly in her
Facebook account. "I will endure thirst but not abuse. I am the daughter
of Nepal, who will never falter."

It is not the kind of message one would expect from a silver screen star and sex symbol.

However, it fits Nepali actor Rekha Thapa like a glove in her current avatar - the new Maoist gal on the block.

The
20-something sensual lass from eastern Nepal, a household name for her
skimpy outfits and power to generate controversies, is the new publicity
weapon of the former guerrillas, hobnobbing with their top leaders to
spruce up the formerly underground party's public image.

Rekha,
who shot in the limelight by doing her own stunts, picking up a fight
with Bollywood bad man Shakti Kapoor and ruffling the feathers of a
Hindu organisation with her backless blouse, is now on a new publicity
arc after having formally joined the Maoist party.

Soon after her
admission to the party in 2009, Rekha proved her value as a
crowd-puller when she sashayed to a Maoist blockade of the prime
minister's office last November and shook a leg with Maoist chief and
former prime minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, to the bemusement of
the watching crowds, the media and Prachanda's wife Sita Dahal.

The
sultry November revolution was capped by a casting coup this August
when Rekha signed up to play the female lead in a new film by a director
considered close to the Maoists.

In
2007, a year after the Maoists ended their 10-year 'People's War' and
came overground, young director Shivji Lamichhane directed 'Lal Salam', a
film on the insurgency that glorifies the former rebels.

This
year, Lamichhane is making his next film, 'Jaljala', Jaljala being a
village in Thabang in western Rolpa district where the Maoists set up
their 'capital' during the insurrection.

Rekha takes a break from her usual bump and grind rounds to play Maoist combatant Comrade Jaljala.

When
the shooting started, Nand Kishore Pun Pasang, the deputy chief of the
Maoists' People's Liberation Army, reportedly showed her how an actual
gun is fired.

This month, Rekha Thapa's star turned a deeper red
when she became the sister of Chandra Bahadur Thapa Sagar, chief of the
Maoists' much-criticised youth organisation, the Young Communist League
(YCL).

Even the spectacle of deposed king Gyanendra celebrating
Brother's Day with his only surviving sister Shobha Shahi faded into
insignificance compared to the hullabaloo created by Rekha publicly
proclaiming Sagar to be her brother and accepting a cash gift from him.

It
was followed by more success last week after Prachanda's deputy and the
leading intellectual in the Maoist party, former finance minister
Baburam Bhattarai, capitulated to the sex siren's charms.

Bhattarai,
an avid viewer of 'serious' and cotemporary issue-based Bollywood
films, surprised Kathmandu when along with party comrade and formerly
designated Nepali ambassador to India, Ram Karki, he sauntered into a
theatre during the protracted political crisis in the country to watch a
film in the company of Rekha Thapa.

The film was no other than
Rekha's recent release, 'Kasle chorayo mero man' (Who stole my heart), a
predictable, poor boy-meets-rich-girl romance that despite its weak
story and unbelievable characters is still reported to have done roaring
business during the festival season.

Although I don't like Rekha or her Maoist buddies, I think it is unfair for us to look at her Bhaitika picture (obviously taken inside a modest house) and comment that she is not hot.

We all need to respect an occasion. As a Nepali brother, I would never comment negatively on a bhaitika picture. It means a lot to a lot of us. You don't go to put tika on your bother's head, wearing sexy clothes anyway.

In general, I think Nepali girls are more beautiful than Americans. That is, of course, in general.

Aight let's not get all too sensitive here. Nobodys is trying to diss bhaitika or Nepali women in general.

The title says Nepals sex symbol. The image was posted to show how "sexy" she is and was relevant for her being affiliated to being Maoist.

Stiffler,

Bhaitikako photo rakhera sexy dekhiena bhannu nonsense ho. Which sister tries to look sexy in bhaitika?

As other photos amply demonstrate, people "look" sexy after a bit of make-up. Most of the actresses we know, from Bollywood to Hollywood, are quite ordinary in their non make-up look. I don't know much about Rekha, but her first photo does look all right.

Don't get me wrong, I hate Maoists and so on, but this doesn't mean I have to diss Rekha Thapa's bhaitika photo.

First of all understand the difference between sexy and beautiful. U r defending her as if I called her ugly and not pretty or something. The article portrays her as the sex goddess of Nepal, the Nepali representation of being sexy and I totally disagree. Sexy first of all is an arrogant term and I have no problem dissing this arrogance. Had I said she is ugly I could have atleast understood ur defense. U talk about respect then don't use the word sexy for her,u wouldn't call ur cousin sister sexy would u? Not that I am dragging ur family here.
I see 8847's point, I don't see urs.

Stiffler, typical Nepali attitude you got here. Typical Nepali attitude you got here, man.

I don't have anything more to say. It is just that you want to be mean, and no matter what it takes, you want to be mean and be proud of your meanness. If someone asks you not to be mean, then you want to be mean to that person too.That's what it is all about. A look at your name suggests alot, anyway.
