KATHMANDU: Renowned Indian actress and dancer Nora Fatehi is set to perform live in Kathmandu alongside several popular Nepali artists in the much-anticipated event “Nora Fatehi Live in Nepal”, taking place on May 17 (Jestha 3).

Representing the performers, Teriya Phouja Magar expressed her excitement and readiness. “Nora Fatehi is a global sensation, and sharing the stage with her is an honor. Events like this not only promote Nepal’s cultural scene but also contribute to tourism and international recognition,” she said.

Over 20 professional dancers from Mumbai, including Nora herself, are expected to arrive in Nepal for the event.

In an audiovisual message, Nora Fatehi shared her enthusiasm about visiting Nepal for the first time and expressed gratitude for the love she has received. “I’m thrilled to visit Kathmandu. This will be my first trip to Nepal, and I encourage everyone to support this meaningful event,” she said.
