Rajesh Hamal, arguably the biggest superstar in the Nepali film industry, was in Paris when the April 25 quake hit. Hamal was in Europe to attend various programmes that had been scheduled nearly a year ago. I was in my hotel room in Paris. It was seven in the morning there. A Nepali family living in France called me up and told me that Dharahara had collapsed. I was shocked. I tried to call home—for an hour—but I couldn’t get through. And in the absence of information, my imagination ran riot. I thought Ason, Indra Chwok and other densely packed areas in that neighbourhood had been totally destroyed. I thought that maybe there would be a hundred thousand casualties at least, because an exporter had once told me that those areas were very vulnerable to earthquakes. I was also worried about my wife, Madhu. I wasn’t too worried about my brother and sister because they live with their families. On hearing about the quake, Hamal cancelled his prior commitments and instead started raising funds for Nepalis back home, from NRNs living in France, the Netherlands and Finland. He also made various media appearances in these countries, wherein he appealed to all to provide donations for the quake-hit in Nepal. The Post’s Anup Ojha caught up with Rajesh Hamal at his residence in Kapurdhara to talk about his relief efforts
