Personal life

[edit]

Miruna Magar was born in Hong Kong; her family returned to Nepal when she was two years old.[7] Her family originally belonged to Dharan, and she lived her early years there until she was twelve.[7] Her father served in the British Army's Royal Gurkha Rifles. She migrated to London with her family when she was twelve and completed her schooling there.[8] She came back to Nepal in 2016, where she got the opportunity to learn acting.[9]

Career

[edit]

Magar had her first role in the 2018 film Lalpurja;[10] she also starred in Rose in the same year.[9] In 2019, she starred in Saino and Cha Cha Hui, which mostly received negative reviews from the critics, although her performance was praised.[11] She then starred in the record-breaking Kabaddi 4: The Final Match in 2022, which became the highest-grossing Nepali film of all time, collecting over 22.73 crore.[3]

In 2022, while Magar was in promotion of her film Kabaddi 4: The Final Match, there was an incident where she claimed a monk touched her inappropriately, and she slapped him in public and humiliated him for the misbehavior. She filed a lawsuit against him, which she later dropped. They both apologised to each other. Some people called it a publicity stunt; they even protested and wanted to ban the film. Consequently, it was banned in the Indian state of Sikkim.[12] Later, when the incident started to get worse, she reached an agreement with the monk and apologized to the entire Buddhist community for the negative impact of the incident.[13]

In 2023, she starred in Jaari, which earned 13 crore in the first two weeks of its release and became one of the highest-grossing Nepali films.[4]

Magar was chosen as a brand ambassador of 12th Nepal European Union Film Festival which took place between April 28 to April 30, 2023.[14][15]
