Sugam Pokharel: The popular pop star wants to contribute more to Nepal’s music industry

When Sugam Pokharel was growing up in Rangeli in southeastern Nepal singing Bollywood songs, he never thought he would be such a superstar. He knew he could sing, but becoming a pop superstar was unthinkable. However, through consistent training, hard work and sheer determination, he not only became a singer but has been a revered pop star of Nepal for the past two decades.

“I’m thankful for the career I’ve had, but I know I can give more to the industry,” he says.
