Interview with comedian Daman Rupakheti
10:10 AMNo aim and no plan to be an actor and he himself is amused how that ten
seconds changed his life. If he had no patience for some 10 seconds when
he was directly refused for a role in a program in Nepal television, he

He was born in a village of Sindhupalckowk. His place is about 75 km
away from Kathmandu valley. He was too short in his childhood. He was
still like a little child when he appeared SLC in 2047BS. He then went
to India to find a job(a reason) but he actually went there it discover
himself in a new palce. He got a job in a nursing home as receptionist.
He became so dear it a Indian family. But later due to his mother he
came back it village. His elder brother took him to Kathmandu to work.
He applied in many places but he was not appointed. Almost everyone
didn’t believe that he had passed SLC. Luckily he got a good job in a
wholesalers’ shop. He was admitted to a collage but rarely attended his
classes.
New hopes came it his life after he met Mrs. Saraswoti. She was news
teller in Nepal Television. He tried it become close it her so he always
waited an opportunity to help her. Once he requested her to help him
act in comedy programs in Nepal Television. She told some of her friends
to let Jitu act in some of their episodes. Mr. Santosh Panta decided to
call him fot trial. He did not believe that Jitu would do anything
because of his height. He went out of the office and waited there for
some time. This was his life changing wait, some magical seconds. As

along but there was no space in the van. Jitu readily accepted it sit in
the bonnet.
