From Bishkek to Kathmandu — one alumna's journey across borders and art forms.

July 20, 2026

#JMC

We're proud to spotlight a graduate of our Journalism & Mass Communication Department, Class of 2017 — someone who left Bishkek with a degree and went on to build something extraordinary on the other side of the world.

After 22 years in Nepali theatre, she was awarded the prestigious Sarwanam Award — one of the highest honours in the field, recognising a career defined by dedication, craft, and creative courage. But her work doesn't stop at that stage.

In recent years, she has stepped into the world of film — collaborating with Kyrgyz filmmaker Ernest Abdyjaparov to create stories that bridge two cultures, two countries, and two artistic traditions. It's a connection that feels personal: she lived in Kyrgyzstan from 2011 to 2019, and considers ¾ÅÉ«Íø a foundational chapter of her journey.

Khorlo — co-produced in Kyrgyzstan, nominated at the Nepal International Film Festival (2026)
ÌýGirl from Nepal — co-directed with Ernest Baike, selected for the National Panorama at the Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival (KIMFF)

These aren't just film credits. They are proof that the connections made at ¾ÅÉ«Íø — across classrooms, cultures, and borders — have a life far beyond graduation day.
