Rekha Thapa (Nepali: रेखा थापा) is a Nepalese actress and politician. She won the CG Digital Film Awards for Best Actress, and in 2011 she also won the NEFTA Film Awards for Best Actress.[citation needed]
Thapa is also well-known for speaking out on social and political issues, particularly women's rights.[3][4] She is recognized for establishing herself in the Nepali cinema business at a time when every film was solely focused on male leads; as a result, she is frequently referred to as a "female hero" rather than a "heroine" of a film.[5][6]
