Namrata Shrestha is a Nepalese actress and model.

Since debuting in Alok Nembang's Sano Sansar in 2008, Shrestha has gone on to appear in a number of commercial Nepali-language films as a sought-after model and actor.[1]

Career

In 2008, Shrestha appeared alongside Karma in the romantic comedy Sano Sansar, where she played the character of Ritu.[2] Shrestha was new to acting and was selected for the role despite her lack of experience.[3]

Shrestha then appeared as Sikha in the 2009 romantic comedy Mero Euta Saathi Chha.

In 2010, Shrestha debuted in her first theater performance, Jalpari.[4]

Since then, Shrestha has appeared in a string of high-profile films, including the Nigam Shrestha-helmed Chhadke alongside Saugat Malla, Dayahang Rai and Robin Tamang; Maun where she plays a mute woman. In 2015, Shrestha starred in the film Soul Sister, playing two characters. The film also marked her debut as a singer for the song 'Bistarai Bistarai'. The following year, in 2016, Shrestha starred in the movie Classic, again alongside Aryan Sigdel. Her role in the film earned her a Dcine Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Female)[5] and the National Film Award for Best Actress.[6]

Shrestha then starred in the movie Prasad to widespread critical acclaim.[7] Shrestha once again won the Dcine Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Female) for her portrayal of Narayani in the film.[8]

In 2019, Shrestha starred in the action movie Xira, where she did all of her own stunts and shaved off her hair.[9] The film was not well-received[10] with the Kathmandu Post summing up "Xira the film won’t let you admire Xira the character"[11]
