'We have everything, but still we are sad people': Actor Usha Rajak

Actor Usha Rajak recalls being 'shocked' when she heard the news about actor Saruk Tamrakar's death in July, while she was in Australia. Rajak had collaborated with Tamrakar on a short film some time ago, which was based on her life story. She says this was the second time that she had faced such a tragic loss. In 2014, she received similar news about the death of Alok Nemwang, the director who had introduced her to the modeling field through the music video for the song 'I Love You.' She reveals that even now, her body feels heavy when she recollects the time she had to lose both Tamrakar and Nemwang, both of whom had worked closely with her. Listen to Usha Rajak's conversation with SBS Nepali as she delves into her perspective on the frustrations within the entertainment industry.
