Does it make any new news to you? No! Then how about getting to know about singer Nalina Chitrakar being the representative of the Madhesi People's Rights Forum? Surprised?

But it's true. The chubby and cute singer of popular hits like Nepalikai Naam Diye Pugcha, Mehendi Lagau Malai and Pani Pani Bhayo Merai Mann Pani is a chosen candidate of the Forum in the CA elections.

Along with Nalina, there are two other people from the showbiz in the CA polls.

Shree Krishna Luitel, more popularly known for his boke dari (goatee), has come up as an independent candidate. Ironically, boka (billy goat) happens to be Luitel's party logo. The popular singer of hits like E Bau Kindeuna Bhatbhate and Lamichhane Babu, Shree Krishna is now busy campaigning for his party in Morang district.

Likewise, singer Nanda Krishna Joshi, popular for his unique genre in singing - Jhyamma Jhyamma being one example - is the candidate under proportional representation (PR) system from Nepali Congress.
