It has been 15 years since her first movie appearance and the gallant actress Rekha Thapa is still dominating the Nepali film industry with her charisma and beauty. The strong sex appeal and hot pictures featured in cover of Wave magazine has increased her fan following in facebook as well as Twitter account. She is among the few Nepali heroine who has dared to take risk as a producer and she regularly makes movies through Rekha Entertainment, her own production house. Her fans also know her as a love guru who provides counselling on love related problems through National Weekly- Kantipur Saptahik.

Rekha was born to father Prem Thapa and mother Saraswati Thapa in 21^st August 1982 in Salakpur of Morang district in Nepal. Her passion for glamour field forced her to shift to Kathmandu once she completed her school level education. She had enrolled to study Humanities and Social Sciences in Higher Secondary Level but she decided to leave study for the sake of her career and personal growth. She was interested in acting ever since she watched the first movie Laxmipuja starring Shreekrishna and Kristi Mainali in Jaljala Theater.

Although she wandered into several modelling agencies in her struggling period, the journey of Rekha in the world of glamour began at the age of 17 years when she became the contestant for Miss Nepal 1999. Although she was unable to grab the title, she was able to make it to Top10 list. She devoted the next two years in better understanding of how kollywood works. Finally, she decided that she was prepared to make a debut in Nepali cinema world. She got attention of Chhabiraj when she won the title of Miss Koshi 2057. So, Chhabiraj Ojha- one of the prominent Nepali movie producers gave her the much needed first break through the movie – Hero which was released in 2001. She was lucky to get an opportunity to work with the legendary Nepali actor Rajesh Hamal in her very first movie which was an insightful journey to her. It is interesting to know that talks were going on about signing agreement with Sajja Mainali for Hero till Chhabiraj found her photo in a magazine that stated she was the winner of Miss Koshi.

The producer Chhabiraj Ojha fell for her seducing beauty. He proposed her and thus Rekha Thapa married Chhabiraj in 2001. Their married life had several ups and downs. She finally decided that she could not continue to remain as a wife of Ojha throughout her life. So, Rekha divorced her husband Ojha in 2012. In an interview, Rekha has expressed that she would find a life partner by 2019. Although it was Ojha who gave her a break in Kollywood, she has stated that Naresh Paudel is her god father.

Who is Rekha Thapa dating now?

Since she was publicly spotted with Sudarshan Gautam in number of times, many had speculated him to be Rekha Thapa new boyfriend and probable future husband but she denied the rumour claiming it to be false. The NRN from Canada, Sudarshan is a married man who is physically disabled. She further explained that the rumour was spread purely for publicity for Himmatwali movie. Rekha Thapa is single and she has not been proposed by anyone for marriage yet. May be, people hesitate to propose her because of her bold image, thanks to woman oriented action movies that she plays. It is a great irony that despite being a love guru who provides counseling for healthy relationship between couples, she has herself became unsuccessful in her love as well as married relationship. It’s not like she had not made effort to work out her relationship problems. She had consulted with Harihar Adhikari reharding her relationship problems.
