Dayahang Rai is a well-known film actor in the Nepali film industry. In the three years that he has been in the industry, he has already acted in over two dozen films. Besides being an actor on the screen, Rai is also a popular theatre artist. Rai, who started his career as a theatre artist, is now one of the founders of Mandala Theatre in Anamnagar. The theatre was established three years ago. The Post’s Anup Ojha talked with Rai about the quake’s effects on Nepali theatre and how Nepali theatre will recover.I was having lunch at poet Upendra Subba’s house in Talchikhel in Lalitpur. The Kabaddi film director, Ram Babu Gurung, was also with us. We were indoors, when suddenly the house started to shake. We could hear the sounds of the utensils in the kitchen clattering to the ground. Then, as the earth continued to shake, I started thinking of my family members—my two-and-a-half-year-old son Samdung, my wife, Benuka, and my sister, who were all back in our home in Anamnagar.
Once the quake stopped, we ventured outside. The road was filled with people. I could see broken flower pots inside the compound of the house. We could feel the aftershocks even after the first big jolt. Someone said that the Dharahara had collapsed. I found myself worrying about Ason. Luckily, nothing had happened to that neighbourhood, I learned. I tried to my call my wife, but my phone wasn’t working. I texted her saying that I was safe. I got a reply from her saying everyone was safe at home.
