Thakur Prasad Tripathi (63) took out the old files and flipped them over. Inside those files were letters from old newspapers that had been alive for two decades. Muttering the blurred letters, he turned to me and said, 'Look, father. The robot made by the elder at that time. I am keeping it carefully.

Around the first week of last June, I reached actor Mahesh Tripathi's house in Kaskikot (Kaski). It was raining heavily outside the house.

Thakur was showing more news pages written on his son and saying, "At that time, an international newspaper also covered it". Everyone said he would become a scientist.'

Mahesh, who was soaking in the world of innovation even after his school life, suddenly turned around. That mode was acting .  After choosing the path of

cinema, many twists and turns came in his life. But he never left the 'steering' of acting . 

Thakur turned the last pages of the file . Showing the news related to the film, he said, 'Watch it. The son who becomes a scientist has finally become an artist . We really liked the way he walked.'

was about to stop. But Yamamaya's mother, who was sitting in front, did not stop crying while looking at the newspaper. Mother looked at the clock. And she said to Mahesh, '24 hours have already arrived. The food is ready. Now go eat.' 

Mahesh was not hungry. It was just a hunger for acting. 

At that time, Mahesh had started living as a message for 'Laaj Sharanam'. "We will have to lose 20 kg weight". I am consulting a doctor . "I eat only once in 24 hours," Mahesh said while returning to Kathmandu, "We cannot live without rice." But I can't eat.'  Student of

acting . A teacher teaching acting to film students. He was not in favor of acting for the sake of acting. He wanted to connect with the character's life . 

Mahesh stopped eating carbohydrates. Green vegetables, two pieces of radish, two pieces of cucumber, protein, occasional coffee and water . His schedule was regular for 7 months. Mother used to say, 'Why did you do this by hurting your own body?' 

The family used to remind, 'One has to work hard for his dream .'

For the film 'Laaj Sharanam', director Kumar Kattel wanted a character to carry the story of the entire Karnali. Common name came on the recommendation of many, 'Mahesh can do this .' Then he met Mahesh . He said clearly, "This is a character that carries the story". It needs a strong shoulder, not a star.'

Mahesh was ready to tap the shoulder. Since that day, he stood in the field. "A place of geographical vulnerability". Where food is scarce . Malnutrition is a problem. This character demands a physical transformation. You have to lose weight,' Mahesh concluded.

After that, Mahesh never let himself cross the circle of discipline.  The

results are now visible. Viewers returning after watching 'Laaz Sharanam' are looking for a message with wet eyes. Not only 'Laaz Sharanam', they are also showing love for Pushpa, the gay character of 'Pheri Resham Philili'. Social media users are writing, 'He is a brilliant actor.'

Directors Kumar and Niroj Maharjan also add, 'Yes, Mahesh is a brilliant actor.' Mahesh also won the best actor award at the film festival.

Niroz wanted an actor to play a gay character while making 'Pheri Resham Philili'. He was a very sensitive and important character in the film. Mahesh's eyes fluttered after a lot of shock. "Nobody could have done it." I met him after remembering him . That's when I came to know that he is a very serious actor,' he says.

That was the challenge for Mahesh, "If this sensitive character is not judged, neither will my artistry be judged". Nor to the gender minority community.' He researched this topic while studying in film college. Observation was done. I worked in internal psychology. Think seriously about the choice and purpose of that character . After the release of the film, we are getting appreciation from the same community,' he is happy.

Mahesh's journey for Sandesh character in 'Laaz Sharanam' is more difficult. He lost 20 kg weight for the character. "I have become unknowingly". Even the people who see me don't recognize me,' says Mahesh.

Mahesh went to Dolpa before the shooting. Note the language there. culture tips . Lobz Tippe . Lifestyle Tips . And got absorbed in it. We write in Nepali language and translate it when we go to a certain geography. Does not translate authentically. That was not meant to be. I decided to research and put what I experienced,' says Mahesh. 

He used to mine in the village of Dolpa. Picked vegetables. They used to shake hands in the life of the people there. He used to abuse in the words of life. He used to swear. "It was a different world for me," he says.

One day, a team with a director reached Dolpa from Kathmandu. The people of the village got ready to welcome the artist as he was coming. When they arrived, the people of the village came to pay their respects. Kumar was hugged by a thin man. Confused for a moment. Just realized, 'He is Mahesh.' 

Kumar's speech was interrupted . Eyes filled . I did not Mahesh. I found the message,' Kumar said to Mahesh, 'Now all you have to do is draw .' 

The shooting was going on at high altitude. Mahesh, who only eats once in twenty-four hours, had not eaten for more than twenty-five hours. He walked 500 meters away from the shooting spot for a snack. Suddenly it became difficult to breathe . There was a crowd on the side . He leaned against the wall. One of the villagers reached to see if the phone tower could be picked up. Mahesh tried to call . There was no sound . He fell . He will see later. Calling everyone. They picked me up and took me away," Mahesh said, "By then the body was already cold. After taking down  But slowly I remembered . I felt like this is where the life goes.' 

Mahesh's mother kept asking, 'Would you like to eat now?' Her mother's voice echoed in her ears. Mahesh's juicy eyes kept flowing . At that time, I felt it. The body and the dream inside me are different things .  I gave my body a lot of pain for my dream,' he remembers.  In the

film, Sandesh carries the sigh of Karnali . There is a lack of . All Karnali's lost breath is visible on Sandesh's wrinkled face . Anger towards the state is found in his eyes, which are buried inside by lack. Throughout the film, Mahesh is nowhere to be found, only messages are found.

'Laaj Sharanam' tried to hide Mahesh's face in the publicity . Now that the audience is liking Karnali's part in the film, Kumar regrets, 'He should have been promoted from the beginning.' Kumar tells the reason behind hiding Mahesh, "Karnali's story was a surprise of cinema". We wondered if the secret would be revealed .' 

When taking this project to the hall, Kumar said, "Mahesh is the diamond of acting". He didn't say don't do it even if you can't breathe . What an amazing actor,' says Kumar.

Mahesh has done as many films as before . Viewers openly praised her character . Be it 'Light Kara', or 'Chapli Height 3' or 'Prasad 2'. He always worked hard on his part .

But there is something that keeps bothering him, 'I was considered an outsider?' 

'The movie was watched with a business only with a face that was always moving . Not with art . "I still have to struggle because I am a person within the industry," complains Mahesh. However, the hunger for acting in him is increasing more and more . Art lovers are getting satisfied watching his work. And this sequence is slowly increasing . 

Mahesh was an 'innovator' in school life. Made robots, made machines. since 

acting career is also his search for creative innovation.  Ba Thakur, who is comparing the two wheels of his son while looking at the
