After graduating from Hong Kong in 1996 in mass communication, Sujita Shahi from Maharajganj, Kathmandu did internships at South China Morning Post and Star TV. At that time, the world's longest Tingkau Breeze was being built.

I was 'assigned' to interview the German manager overseeing the bridge project. Jublin AG Company based in Stuttgart, Germany was the main contractor. Jublin went to Germany in 1998 after being called by AG during the interview. 

After reaching Germany, Sujitha started working at DW TV and RTL TV. Always a risk taker, she decided to go to Baghdad, Iraq in 1999, to report in the 'war zone'. After that, he went to Afghanistan, the south-western region of Syria, the Golan Heights, Lebanon's Beirut, Palestine, Ukraine, etc., for hominem reporting on the front lines of the war. The role of an undercover journalist was not so easy. 

In April 2013, while reporting in Afghanistan, his team was kidnapped by the insurgent Taliban. He used to hold a gun to his head. At that time, I thought I was going to die," she recalled. Later, German Chancellor Angela Merkel came and released her in 4 days, she said. Sujitha faced another tragedy in Afghanistan. In 2015, while advancing towards Helmand, Afghanistan, a mine exploded in a van carrying 5 British Army personnel. The Sujitas were in the third van. 

'I fainted after the explosion. I was in the hospital bed when I lost consciousness," she told Kantipur, "I was paralyzed for 5 and a half months at that time. The doctor told me to amputate my leg, I said I would rather die but not live crippled. I returned to Germany and recovered after further treatment. Soon after, mother Saraswati suffered from kidney disease and was taken to India for a transplant, requiring about 20 thousand US dollars. She was forced to join the commando force in 2008 to earn the money. 

Before going to the 'war zone', when the interviewer asked, 'Do you have experience?', he said, 'How can you get experience if you don't give me the opportunity, give me work and then decide after seeing my performance', he was called. Unfortunately, in May 2010, on the day of Matatirtha Aunsi, my mother passed away. "If I had enough money, mother could have been saved, but she could not be saved," she says tiredly.

Currently living in Nuremburg, Germany, Sujita joined the German Special Commando Forces in 2009 and three years later, she is in the Austrian Commando Forces. Where there are only two women. They have to go on a 'rescue mission'. Father Durga Bahadur Shahi was an employee of the British Army. She said that when her father wore army uniforms, she would have been able to wear them as well.

Sujitha, who jumped from 5,000 feet during commando training, is now a 'qualified skydiver'. She has started skydiving since February 2024 and has jumped 52 times in countries like Spain, Dubai, America and France. Now she is planning to jump to Egypt. Last August, Sujitha trained with John Philippe at a military training center in France and got a license to skydive. 

Last November 19, she also skydived in Pokhara. She said that she did a 'solo jump' three times from 13,000 feet in the skydive match organized by Everest Skydive in Pokhara. She believes that she can possibly be Nepal's first female 'solo skydiver'.

He plans to go to Everest next year and Denmark next August to skydive. The main thing when skydiving is to keep the mind steady. How high did you get? "You have to pay attention to what's in front and behind and see where the landing area is," she said. She revealed that climber Nirmal Purja (Nims Dai) had a big hand in her becoming a 'skydiver'. When Purja conducted a 'skydive course' in Spain, Sujitha was also a participant. 

She left Nepal in 1993 and is planning to return to Nepal in the future and devote herself to training in the aviation field. She said, "Women are afraid to jump from a height, but nothing is impossible if you strengthen your self-confidence. I am thinking of being active in this field.' She has traveled half the world except African countries. 

"I am happy with my life, sister Anita Shahi Pokharel also contributed to reach here," she recalled.

Regarding the feature entitled 'From War Journalists to Skydiving', Kantipur respects the concern shown regarding the feature published last Monday under the title

'From War Journalists to Skydiving'. To address the concerns, Kantipur has contacted Sujita Shahi, the character of the feature herself, relatives and professional colleagues. In this context, we would like to clarify the following matter. 

1. Sujitha is a brave skydiver, not only she, but also confirmed by the established tourism businessmen of Nepal. In the feature story, Sujitha claimed to have done a 'solojump' in Pokhara on 19 November. Suman Pandey, former chairman of Pata Nepal and founder of Everest Skydive Company 

also told Kantipur, "She used to dive in tandem (with the help of a driver) before, after training she did 'solo jump' this time." We have been running this company since 2008 

, she is the first woman to skydive solo from our company. She brings not only herself but many Europeans to Nepal. She is also happy, she has also praised the Pearton region of Nepal.' Sujitha reiterated that she plans to skydive on Mount Everest and in Denmark next year. Officials of the Tourism Board and other businessmen also said that Sujita's efforts are commendable and should be encouraged for this. 

2. Relatives confirmed that Sujitha also went to Hong Kong as her father was in the British Army. They say that Sujita was living in Germany with acquaintance, friendship and marriage with the manager of the German company who was in charge of the construction of the grand Tingkau Bridge in Hong Kong at that time. 

3. Sujitha claimed to have done her master's degree in journalism in Hong Kong, trained at South China Morning Post and Star TV and worked at DW and RTL TV in Germany. On the subject of studying journalism, he explains, “Yes, I studied at Baptist University.” It is not a practice in any interview to show your certificate after a character says that's what I studied. Similarly, she told reporters that her byline would not be found as she claimed to be working as an 'undercover war reporter'. However, there was a place to ask for material with pictures to explain the context of 'war reporting' which would have strengthened the story. Similarly, when asked for reference materials, she said that she could not give them for personal reasons after public questions were raised about the claim that she was abducted in Afghanistan and was now in the commando force. "Undercover Jabka material is not found on Google, nor can it be given to you. He said, "It is because of the comments that I have spoken to you that I am in crisis." Regardless of what he said, we conclude that the feature should not have included references that could not be independently verified.
