Username, Don't get me wrong, I abhor any politically submissive gesture from any citizen to our royalty. However, for some reason, I don't find this picture as repugnant as some of you are viewing. Clearly, I am not seeing the lady in the picture as a political figure. To me, in absence of knowing much about her personality, she provokes a picture of a harmless creature and, if I may, an unlucky wife of a suicidally ambitious husband and a sad mother of a devilish son. Even if that was not the case, women of our royalty, except for the Queen Rajendralaxmi and Kanchhi Maharani Rajya Laxmi of Basanti's fame perhaps, have been more deprived and abused than their counterpart in the commoners, haven't they ? So, in this picture I don't see a wife of a dictator or a woman with a dictator's dream. Instead I see my durbar paseki phupu of yesteryears. And frankly, Shiva Shrestha looks more like a jolly good bhadaha making a funny gesture with his own phupu. And Komal, as if saying, "छि: यो भदाहा त के विधी नक्कल पार्न जान्या नि, सिनिमाको हिरो न ठहरियो"
