Young & passionate

Kathmandu:

One of the youngest among participants in the Dabur Vatika Miss Nepal beauty pageant, Hema

Shrestha believes that she’s learning a great deal during the run-up and is prepared to grapple with the best of them all to make it to the top. This exciting and fun girl loves nature and is extremely passionate about music. Participating in social events is one of her preoccupations that has taken Shrestha as far as Sri Lanka where she participated in an environment camp. Shrestha, however, thinks she’s too young to correctly predict where her passion would lead her finally in life. Shrestha will participate in the pageant along with 18 other contestants at BICC on September 10.
