Acharya had posted a long post on his Facebook page before he took the step, which explained his various experiences of failing multiple times due to the circumstances that were beyond his control.

But for the fourth season, a new panel of the judges were brought, consisting of Sambhujeet Baskota, Sugam Pokharel and Subani Moktan. And well, guess who’s ..read more
