KATHMANDU, Feb 12: Deepika Prasain is a young Nepali artist. She started her career as an ad model in 2014 and has so far managed to get ample coverage in various Nepali newspapers as well as magazines. With her debut film ‘Aishwarya’, Prasain has garnered recognition in modeling and film fraternities. Currently a student of MA first semester in public administration, she has recently been occupied with photo and ad shoots.

In talk with My City’s Sonam Lama, Prasain revealed five things that many may not know about her.

Light with make-up 
When it comes to make-up, she is brand conscious. Her make-up vanity majorly consists of lipsticks and mascara collection from Mac, and foundation and contour from Lancôme. “I make sure my eyebrows look perfect before stepping out of my house and it is only if I have important events to attend that I prefer wearing heavy make-up,” she said.

Nepali food lover
During her off hours from work, Prasain can be often caught in her kitchen, especially preparing Nepali food. Although she has tried out Chinese, Korean, Japanese cuisines, all she carves for is Nepali foods. “It is the different flavors of spices that make me a true lover of Nepali foods,” she added.

Religious person
No matter how tight her work schedule may seem, she manages to visit the temple nearby her home. For her, keeping faith in god helps keeping herself guided. “I don’t know if there is any god, but I have faith on almighty because it gives me positive energy,” she said.

Perfume lover 
For her, smelling good is vital to complete her look and style. She has so far collected over three dozens of perfume brands and loves experimenting with each one from her collection. Of all, she likes the long lasting and mild fragrance of Victoria’s Secret.

Keen reader
She likes reading English and Nepali novels of Paulo Coelho, Chetan Bhagat and Narayan Wagle. Having read the best sellers like 'Alchemist', 'Brida', '11 Minutes' by Coelho, she has also devoured most of Bhagat’s collections. She reads Nepali fashion and lifestyle magazines to kill time whenever at home.
