"I have acted in 3 movies. And I have sung many songs. For other people who come as guests and when lonely, for myself. And I like dancing too. I know my skin is getting darker and my back stooping every year, but it is a strange fact that I do not feel old. I am a bit different in the village. I like to talk to people too. I am not shy of anything and I do not hold myself back when I have something to say. And when I don't have anything to say then I go cook my food and feed my guests. I can tell you that the guests who come to my homestay are never bored. With foreigners, I throw a few English words here and there and we all laugh. I think they also like my Dal Bhat or why else would they eat the same thing twice a day. But it could be because there is nothing else to eat around here (Laughs)."
