रेखा थापा:-मेरा सेक्सी अङ्ग भनेको आँखा र ओठ

सिनेमाको पर्दामा कपडा खोल्ने मामिलामा अन्य नायिकाहरूभन्दा अलि बढी नै उदार देखिने नायिका रेखा थापा वास्तविक जीवन मा चै ‘चिसी’ छु भन्न रुचाउछिन । नायिका रेखा थापासँग राजन घिमिरेले सेक्सको बारेमा गरेको कुराकानी जस्ताको तस्तै |
सेक्स भनेको के हो -
सेक्सप्रति मेरो आफ्नै धारणा छ । सेक्सलाई म धेरै ठूलो कुरा मान्दिन । अरू धेरै मान्छे छन्, जो सेक्स भनेपछि मरिहत्ते हाल्छन् । तर म त्यो पक्षमा छैन ।
सेक्सलाई कस्तो र कुन अवस्थामा परिपूर्ति गर्नुपर्छ जस्तो लाग्छ ?
सेक्सलाई हरेक दिन प्रयोग गर्नुपर्छ भन्ने मेरा साथीहरू पनि छन् तर म यो कुरा मान्दिन । मेरो विचारमा सेक्स हप्ता वा महिनाको एकपटक गर्नुपर्छ भन्ने मान्यता राख्छु ।
नेपाली दर्शक र सिनेमा क्षेत्रमा हट नायिकाको रूपमा रेखा थापालाई चिन्छन् तर तपाईंले पटक-पटक म कोल्ड छु भन्दा कसरी पत्याउन सकिएला ?
हो म बाहिरी रूपमा एकदमै सेक्सी देखिए तापनि सेक्सको सवालमा भने कोल्ड छु । चलचित्रको पर्दामा जे देखिए तापनि वास्तविक रूपमा त्यो नहुन सक्छ ।
लोग्ने-स्वास्नीबीच पनि बलात्कार हुन्छ कि हुँदैन ?
यस्ता हुन्छ भन्ने म मान्दिन । नियतिको चाहनाविरुद्ध चाहिँ सेक्स हुने गरिन्छ यदि त्यो मेरा सवालमा होस् वा अरू नै कसैको सवालमा होस् । मलाई लाग्छ सेक्स हुँदा दुवैमा एकखाले सहमति हुनर्ुपर्छ ।
तपाईंलाई सेक्सी लाग्ने आफ्ना शरीरका अङ्गहरू के-के हुन् -
मेरा सेक्सी अङ्ग भनेको आँखा र ओठ नै हुन् ।
नेपाली चलचित्रका नायकहरूमा को लाग्छ सेक्सी -
दुर्भाग्य ! नेपाली सिनेमाका कुनै पनि नायकहरू सेक्सी देखिँदैनन् ।
नेपाली चलचित्र उद्योगमा बढी एक्सपोजर डाइरेक्टर को हुन् -
बसन्त श्रेष्ठ । उहाँ हाम्रो एक्सपोजर डान्स डाइरेक्र हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले एक्सपोज गर्ने अङ्ग भनेकै हिप हो ।
रेखा थापालाई कुन हदसम्म एक्सपोज गरेमा दर्शकले पचाउलान् -
म बेडसिन दिने पक्षमा छैन र माउथ किस पनि दिन्न । किनकि नेपाली समाज त्यति उदार भइसकेको छैन ।
तपार्इंको कुनै फ्यानले अकस्मात् सेक्सको प्रस्ताव राखेमा… -
मेरा फ्यानहरूको सवालमा मेरो ओठ र गालामा चुम्बन गरेको अनुभव मसँग छ । तर, अहिलेसम्म सेक्सको प्रस्ताव कुनै पनि फ्यानले राखेको छैन । कसैले राखेमा त्यसबेला मबाट कस्तो प्रतिक्रिया आउला म अहिले नै भन्न सक्दिनँ ।

Sach ka Saamna is ending on 18th September

Sach ka Saamna gets the axe

The truth train has derailed. Despite all the shock and awe it generated, Star Plus’ bold reality show Sach Ka Saamna is coming to a rather abrupt end on September 18.

End of the line?
Says Rajeev Khandelwal, who won accolades as the host of the show, “I’m a little upset. I will miss the show, the team and, of course, the contestants. I didn’t even realise when I completed my contract of 50 episodes. If they plan a sequel to the show and decide to hire me again, I am game.”

However, the second season seems difficult right now, given the negative feedback surrounding the show. Says Siddhartha Basu, the brain behind the Indian version of the Moment of Truth, “It was a serious game show which had its own steady viewership. It wasn’t everybody’s cup of tea. The first season was like a testing ground, which turned out well. For the sequel, we need to talk it out with the channel bosses.”

However, senior creative director, Anupama Mandloi, insists that a season is “absolutely possible” and adds, “We could have extended it, but felt it was better to close as planned as it left the viewers asking for more.”

Life changing
Participants on the show are unanimous that it was a big leap for reality TV in India. Says Lakshmi Narayan, “For me it helped break a lot of stereotypes associated with eunuchs and also furthered my cause. The show was a reality check on the hypocrisy in our society.”

Bobby Darling adds, “It helped me improve my relations with my dad. People made fun of me earlier, but after seeing me on the show, their attitude changed.”

There is a big reason why I'm hosting Sach Ka Saamna: Rajeev Khandelwal

There is a big reason why I'm hosting Sach Ka Saamna: Rajeev Khandelwal

He is grilling people on their best kept secrets and luring them with big money to ditch their families, friends and relatives and tell the truth. But now it’s his turn to face the truth, know Rajeev Khandelwal as he confess coming back to television was never on his cards

• Why television, when you are now doing Bollywood films?

Actually, I was not ready to host Sach Ka Saamna, for that matter any show. But Babu (Siddharth Basu) insisted me to go and watch the series Moment Of the Truth, and I was instantly hooked.

I found it to be really interesting. It’s challenging and exciting; when I go ahead in life and look back, I should feel happy that I didn’t do just run-of-the-mill stuff but also got personal satisfaction.

• But didn’t you felt that television might overexpose you?

Yes, initially there were some reservations, as I am doing UTV’s Peter Gaya Kaam Se… the producers did not want my long hair look to be revealed. But after they saw the TV show Moment Of the Truth they agreed and gave me the green signal for the serial. My look is much wilder in the film.

• On your show Sach Ka Saamna; it asks very personal questions, are you comfortable with that?

If I am uncomfortable I tell the contestants- the question I will ask makes me feel tight, so you can work out how uncomfortable it will be for you to answer.

See, I have not really worked out any character as the host; I just deal with them on human level.

It’s not easy to get up and speak the truth, so there is a certain way when I ask those questions; it’s more like a game. The gaming element comes in.

• But don’t you think those questions can break real families?

Or it can bring the family close. Why do we all have this negative attitude towards truth? It’s so ironical; we all like to say- let’s speak the truth, but then a show like this happens and it’s said we are breaking families!

Should a family survive on lies, for how long will they endure? There are two ways of looking at it. Certain truths if kept inside could be fatal. I say truth is better.

• Rajeev, in the promo of the show we saw a family leaving. Don’t you think it’s regressive?

I don’t think so. It’s a part of the bigger picture which will be clear in that episode. You will know why they left and after knowing the truth. This is Agnipariksha. We are not making fun of our contestants or selling someone’s secrets. I dislike regressive show, that’s why I left doing daily soaps.

• Is Sach Ka Saamna same as Moment Of the Truth?

No, we adapted to Indian sensibilities and our own sanskriti. We still live in a conservative society; where things are not openly discussed. So, there is a lot of Rajeev the Indian who asks questions.
When the person gets too emotional, I ask questions that are in lighter vein; this is where we have kept the Indian sensibility in mind and it may raise a lot of eyebrows.

• Where is the drama then?

When the truth unveils there is lot of drama. See, drama is not in the contestant, or what I am doing there, it happens when you hear the question and relate yourself to it. Down the line drama is in the fact; will someone have the courage to answer.

• Is that why you are hosting the show?

There is a big reason why I am hosting this show. When I heard the questions, I thought with every question you will relate yourself with it and to your own life.
