Kathmandu — Nepali celebrities entering politics from glamour or reel life often struggle to maintain long-term political careers. Veteran faces like Rekha Thapa, Karishma Manandhar, and Komal Oli have switched parties but could not achieve lasting political success.
Currently active celebrities in politics include:
-
Rima Bishwakarma, Central member, Ujyalo Nepal Party
-
Aliza Gautam, Vice President, Janadesh Party
-
Asma Kumari KC, Central member, Rastriya Prajatantra Party, Miss Nepal 2024 winner
-
Karishma Manandhar entered multiple parties and faced challenges
-
Rekha Thapa, RPP, limited party activity
-
Komal Oli entered RPP and later joined UML
Experts say celebrity status alone does not guarantee political longevity; experience, party networks, and public support are key.
