  PROFILE MITHILA SHARMA: Her dancing feats  
  BY NISTHA RAYAMAJHI  
 
As dusk slowly approaches and a day’s hectic schedule comes to an end, she makes her way home to Dhobighat, Lalitpur. Mithila Sharma is just back after a rigorous choreography session with a group of 400 Armed Police Force personnel for the upcoming Republic day event. But she doesn’t look a bit tired. Dressed in a kurtha and her hair in a braid, her gleaming expressive eyes still holds the same charm and her beauty is mesmerizing.

The wall on the passage that leads to her living room is full of awards and certificates that stand testimony to her achievements. She is the recipient of Gorkha Dakshin Bahu, Siksha Padak, First Television Actress Award among many other honors. But if there’s one thing that has propelled Sharma to stardom, it’s her determination. With more than hundred movies and countless numbers of serials and stage shows to her credit, she has carved her niche in field of dance and acting.
