Actress Rekha Thapa is a voter of Kathmandu constituency no. 4. She has voted from this place thrice. Once her name was not on the voter list. She voted in the Constituent Assembly election by showing her citizenship. The second time she was a candidate from Parsa constituency no. 1.
Rekha, who voted in the previous election, is not very excited about this election. She wonders if the election scheduled for 2084 has been pushed back two years for someone's interests. 'This election came so suddenly, for whom? For whose interests? Did it come? It doesn't seem like it came for the people. That's why I'm not excited,' she said. 'It seems like this is a fair to drain the state's coffers. Let's hope it will provide a solution, but we are not sure that it will.'
Actor Bipin Karki is voting from Morang constituency no. 4. Bipin is reaching Morang by evening flight, just to vote. Bipin has been voting by looking at the person. 'Which person has stood up? What is their contribution,' says Bipin, 'Who can do it? I am aware of who can use my vote.' Bipin wants to give a chance to the new rather than the old in this election.
Actor Vijay Baral has reached Sarlahi today. His journey from Kathmandu to vote has been completed. He will return to Kathmandu tomorrow after casting his vote. Vijay is a voter of Sarlahi constituency no. 1. Vijay's analysis is that the atmosphere in Sarlahi is different this time because Congress candidate Gagan Thapa is contesting the election from Sarlahi.
He says that he has seen the enthusiasm he did not see in the previous elections this time on the faces of others. 'I am very excited about the election. Everyone seems to be enthusiastic, the atmosphere is good,' said Vijay, 'Rather than asking who will do what, they are walking like ordinary citizens. This enthusiasm is even more visible in them. I vote after understanding and considering. I have traveled so long to vote.' Vijay said that he reached Sarlahi with the decision to vote to fulfill the responsibility of a citizen so that he could question those who will reach the government tomorrow.
Actor Khagendra Lamichhane has also reached his home district of Syangja to vote. 'I arrived in Syangja today. Now I will vote tomorrow,' said Khagendra. He is a voter of Syangja Constituency No. 1. Khagendra sounded excited about the new government formed after the election.
'A new government will be formed after the election. The new government will work for development in the country with new enthusiasm. It will create jobs in the country,' said Khagendra, 'No matter what party comes, the government will be new. That is why I have come to vote with the hope that there will be change.'
Khagendra will rush to Taplejung the day after voting for filming. Khagendra has left work on Ashok Sharma's film 'Double Trippal' and reached Syangja for the election. The production team will go for filming after the election. The final stage of the film is currently being worked on from Kathmandu, Birtamod to Taplejung.
Actor Pradeep Khadka said that this time he will not be able to vote because of the film. The film 'Airi' is currently being shot in Chitwan. After finishing the second schedule of the film, Pradeep was preparing to return to Kathmandu for voting. However, he is stuck in Chitwan because the work of other artists involved in the film has to be completed first.
'I won't be able to vote this time,' said Pradeep, 'I didn't expect to come. I wanted to leave yesterday, but I got stuck because I had to shoot my part.' It has been about 30/35 days since the shooting of 'Airi' began. According to Pradeep, the film will be shot for 75 days. The plan is to shoot for 60 days in Chitwan and 10/15 days in Lomanthang and Dhorpatan. Pradeep is a voter of Lalitpur constituency no. 3.
Actress Keki Adhikari said she is voting from Kathmandu constituency no. 3. This time, Keki is determined not to rush to her constituency like usual. She is reaching the constituency to vote with her family.
'We, the family, are going to vote after 1 pm. We will vote with enthusiasm as always,' Keki said, 'The election is happening a little earlier than expected. There is an election caused by unusual circumstances, but an election is an election. What kind of day will come after the election? Who are we voting for? I am thinking about what kind of questions we should keep in mind before voting.'
