PRIDE OF SINGTAM 02 - REGAN CHETTRI

Born to Kumar Chettri and Sashi Kala Chettri, he is a multi-talented individual that Singtam expects more in near future. He knows nothing except acting, dancing, and music. In his early 30s, he was just making a mark in the Nepali cinema world when COVID-19 came out and all his dreams got shattered.


His debut film Saino (2019) got released last year in Kathmandu with mixed reviews but his actions as the lead actor’s childhood friend were praised by both media and audiences.  He had signed his next Nepali film unnamed with Rajesh Hamal just before the Corona scenario break off.  Keen to music since an early age he released his Nepali musical album ‘Regan’ was in 2016. 

His links with personalities of the Nepali Film Industry made him give music and lyrics to Nepali films like Man Magan and Chi Musi Chi both released in 2019. His song – Hasda Hasdai from the film Chi Musi Chi won the Sagarmatha Music Award as the Best Lyricist 2019. A complete musical package, he has performed at stages of   Kolkata, Gangtok, Kathmandu, Illam, Jhapa, Pasthal, Trathung, Taplejun and Pokhra

Every artist has its story of ups and downs. Regan Chettri too had the taste of a lifetime. His emerging success was cut off due to the virus outbreak. He returned home and now after more than 2-3 months, he looks for a job to sustain his family. My dear friends, if you find him in a Hardware Shop at Singtam working as a fellow staff don’t be surprised, he to have to run his family. But I feel sorry for him, can we do anything for him, anything for his caliber. He says, he can teach children at home – dancing and singing skills. Can we help him?
