In his address to a program organized to celebrate the completion of the 51st episode of the ‘Aba Je Hola Hola (Whatever May Happen Now),’ a television comedy-drama, of Global Television here today, the Vice President said films have already been an indispensable part of human life.
Films have their roles in exposing superstitions, bad customs, and discriminations entrenched in society since ancient times and encouraging the mass for building a progressive and civilized society, the Vice President said.
In addition to this, the film industry greatly supported the development and conservation of language, culture, music, art, and literature, contributing to promoting the feeling of national unity and protecting geographical integrity.
Tele-serials have their presence and significance in the Nepali film industry and the popularity of comedy dramas which are capable of attacking social misconduct and spreading a message has increased and they have been the tools to have influenced the policy-making levels, too, according to the Vice President.
He stressed the need of recognising the contribution of artists remaining as national assets and honor them. He drew the attention of the government and all bodies concerned with supporting the livelihood of national talents and preventing the situation from forcing them to go overseas to make a living.
