The Nepal Army has been criticised by the media here for receiving Bollywood actresses Sonakshi Sinha and Malaika Arora Khan at the international airport as they said the move “demoralises” the force and “reduces its prestige.”
The actresses had come for a charity function, organised by the wife of Army chief General Rajendra Chhettri for benefit of the victims of last year’s devastating earthquake.
General Samir Shai was at the Tribhuvan International Airport on Friday to receive Ms. Sinha while other senior army officials received Ms. Khan, local media reports said.
However, the Nepal Army spokesperson said there was nothing wrong in the incident.
“The welcome by the Army personnel was a normal incident,” the spokesperson said.
