Saroj Khanal: Back from the US, the movie star reveals his farmer avatar in real life

Saroj Khanal was at the peak of his acting career in the Nepali movie industry when he left for the US in 1997. It came as a shock to many as he was doing very well. His movies were a hit and he was competing well against the likes of Rajesh Hamal and Bhuwan KC. But, Khanal wanted a change and left for the US.

“The circumstances in the country was quite bad,” says Khanal. “The country was in turmoil due to the war and I didn’t want my children to grow up in such an environment.”
