It is indeed very saddening to hear about the passing away of  Gopal Raj Mainali. Nepal has lost a very special person; it is an irreplaceable loss to the Nepali Comedy. A great figure of Nepali Comedy is no more, but he lives on through his works and laughing memories that he has left behind.  He will always be alive among us as "Chankhe," "Nakkale," "or as the guy from go-go washing powder commercial. May Pashupatinath give him eternal rest and may his soul rest in perfect peace. My thoughts are with the bereaved family.
