It is an absolute honor to represent Nepal and walk the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival 2019. It has always been a dream from as long as I can remember and every year when I saw prominent figures walk the carpet, I used to tell myself 'ONE DAY' and that day is finally here. I will be attending 4 events this year at the Cannes and my participation will be from May 20-24, 2019. Thank you so much Sir Richard Neilsson, Sir Alian Lesueur, Khen Rinpoche Phurba Dorjee Lama, Sir Tenzing Bhutia (Vajrakilya Productions) for giving me this honor to represent Nepal at this prestigious film festival. Also, special thank you to His Excellency Mr Francois-Xavier LEGER, French Ambassador to Nepal, Mr Arnaud Champy, Deputy Chief of Mission, French Embassy, Deepesh Kumar Bidari, Chargé de Mission, French Embassy, Ms. Raveena Desraj Shrestha and Mr. Anil Keshary Shah. Thank you for helping me with everything❤
