| Rajesh Hamal's Visa Rejected!!!!!!!! | |
| 4 February 2009-Wednesday | |
Nepali celebrities' foreign tours and the visa process needed for that time and again beat the gossip market. This time we aren’t wandering around a rumor. It’s truly a matter of astonishment to hear when Rajesh Hamal, a celebrated personality gets rejected for temporary visa from The American Embassy.
Recently, superstar Rajesh Hamal was rejected by the Emigration Section of the American Embassy during the application of the temporary Visa for USA. The embassy itself being an evidence of Hamal’s previous tours (about 20 times) to America, actually illustrated its absurd act by rejecting his temporary visa this time. The motive behind Hamal’s application for the visa wasn’t personal at all. It was for the attendance as Chief Guest for the screening of his movie “BISH” in three different venues in America. Rajesh Hamal being a part of the movie “BISH” which is a social initiative based on a storyline of drug addiction and Hamal himself being the ambassador of antidrug campaign in Nepal, was refute from the visa approval. If the Embassy was skeptical about Hamal’s visa approval, why was his permit accepted every year??????? His annual tour to America wasn’t concealed from The Embassy either about his family members who residethere. Sounds complete rubbish…….why would a dominant star like Rajesh Hamal settle in America now?
The celebrities like Richa Ghimire, Sudip Giri and Nisha Sunuwar receiving consent of the visa at the same day of Rajesh Hamal’s rejection sounds even more questionable. If anyone from Nepali film fraternity is respected, esteemed and admired by the audience of every genre, that has to be superstar Rajesh Hamal. Rajesh Hamal has served nepali film industry continuously for last two decades and has been ranked as one of the loyal citizen of the country. His persistent social involvements are the evidences of his warmth towards the country. The scorn towards such a legendary and monopolistic actor of Nepal can be considered as an offend towards Nepal and Nepali film fraternity.
