Rekha Thapa Talk about her comment about Neplease in USA

First of all, I agree that whatever she said in her interview was a generalization of the Nepali commune in the USA based on a few experiences she had had. Her comments, specifically the one where she claimed to have achieved nirvana, cracked me up as well. 

Having said that, don't you guys think our expectations from a Nepali actress who joined the film industry at an early age are a tad too high? We all know the state our film industry is in right now, and we are very well aware of the fact that if she were entitled to the privileges that some of us are, she would not be doing films in the first place. I am not taking sides here, heck I haven’t watched a single movie by Rekha Thapa. However, what else can you expect from an actress who hasn’t had too much education, has a poor command in English, and was in the states for the first time?  Well, if all our actresses spoke flawless English, delivered cogent speeches, and were as knowledgeable as some of you guys, our film industry would not be in the state it is in now, would it?

Again, before I piss off other people here, I am not taking sides. All I am suggesting is we have to take it for what it is. For guys drooling over Ash or Jen Lawrence, or even Jharana or Namrata, Rekha Thapa doesn’t come close, and we all get it. She isn’t your idol, but I am sure there are masses of people in Nepal who still admire her for what she is, and that is something that will change when we can change the socio-economic and the film-making status of the country.

Given how discussions in sajha go, I’m going to say this yet again- I’m not saying you guys shouldn’t drop criticisms on what she said – which was both false and humorous. I enjoyed it as much as I enjoy watching the Kardashian sisters talk about getting their rears x-rayed (is that a word?) to falsify rumors of implants. There are less knowledgeable people in every country’s glam biz, so let’s take it for what it is!
