The Top 5 Models of Nepal
By Pragya Kharel Rajouria (Published in The Kathmandu Post - February 21,
2005)
You haven’t seen Nepali models at their best unless you’ve
checked them out on Cybernepal.com.np site. It’s the ultimate site for glamorous
photographs of the established and aspiring models of the land.
“It all began casually with the photographs of Kohinoor
that we hosted on our web page. People liked them tremendously. We got praises
from established photographers also and began introducing new models on regular
basis,” says Dipankar Kasaju, the second of the three Kasaju brothers at
Cybernepal.com.np. Both Abhinav and Dipankar shoot photographs and take combined
credits for the results. Sarobar, the youngest one, gives the finishing touches
to the final prints.
City Post asked the brothers to make their choices of the
top five Nepali models because they’ve worked closely with most of them who are
doing really well today in the TV advertisements, music videos, ramp modeling
and print media.
“There are so many factors besides the looks and the height that make someone a
good model,” says Abhinav. The brothers have made their pick on the basis of the
model’s looks, figure, professionalism, camera-friendliness, and communication
abilities.
“We
can’t rank these ladies in strict sequences because they’re
outstanding in their own ways,” says Dipankar. But their top
five are the following:

Kohinoor Singh
Kohinoor is sensational.She’s a unique blend of innocence
and sexuality. She has a camera friendly or photogenic face and can give any
kind of ‘looks’. She can look like a cute girl next door, (see the Belle Momo
ad) and a bombshell (pictures in cybernepal’s site amply prove that). Kohinoor’s
only drawback would be her height which is 5’ 4” and this limits her chances for
ramp modeling. But in other forms of modeling, she’s perfect. Very professional,
punctual and articulate, Kohinoor will make a terrific host and anchorperson for
both TV and radio shows. She is down to earth and easy to work with. With these
qualities of hers, combined with her talents and looks, Kohinoor has a shining
future just like her name suggests: Kohinoor, the “jewel of the jewels”.

Namrata Shrestha
She’s the nymphet with perfect skin and dimpled smile. She
exudes innocence and sex appeal in the same breath. A good natured person and
professional to the core, the lady’s graceful neck holds an intelligent head
capable of making rational choices. Namrata is one of the few models who can
carry off western outfits and traditional dresses with equal élan. Like
Kohinoor, Namrata lacks good height. But there are other modeling fields in
which she is a prized preference, like in music videos and still advertisements
(for proofs, see Distar TV, Crunch Aloos, Pramod Upadhyaya’s Aankhama lukaunki,
Karna Das’ Timile diyeko and many more). With her looks and her brains, Namrata
will surely go a long way.

Cecilia Gurung
One of the most photogenic models, Cecilia is hot, hot and
hot. She has ample curves, and the confidence and savvy to flaunt them in
western outfits. Expressions come to her naturally without anyone telling her to
do so and so. She takes her profession very seriously and is a daring soul who
loves to experiment. Cecilia is one of the models with many lucrative and good
offers at hand. What sets her apart from other models is her bold, daredevil
self who can handle and cope with any kind of situation. She will make a perfect
model for music videos and advertisements. But since she speaks in a fast tempo,
this may act as a deterrent if she is to take up TV or radio anchoring.

Shovana Thapa
This was an accidental find but what a great one! She was
discovered while she accompanied her sister who had come for a photo shoot
session. She has good height (5’ 6”) and unique facial features. Because of her
height, she can also make a good ramp model. Though not so stunning, Shovana
does just transform once she faces the camera. Her photos come out exceptionally
well and she looks terrific in music videos like she did in Nabin Bhattarai’s
Timi hau lakhaun ko dhadkan. She has that fresh-face innocence about her, and
the slight Mona Lisa-like (!) smile which is very endearing. Shovana surely has
a long shelf life.

Babina Sharma
She’s the classical
beauty with a voluptuous figure and good height (5’6”). The very
professional Bobby is one of the busiest models in town with many
projects in her hands. With fair complexion, big eyes and dimpled
cheeks, Bobby is all things feminine and seductive. She exudes
confidence and is very vocal which are the biggest assets for
models, whether they work in print advertisement, join films, or act
in TV serials or walk down the ramp. You can see Bobby cast her
charm in Anil Singh’s music video Engine gadi, Nima Rumba’s Sanjha
ma pani, ratamapani and in print commercials like Shihkar Lights and
San Miguel Beer. This lady has all the right stuffs required to
rocket her to places.
