Biography

edit

Reecha Sharma was born in Dhangadhi, Nepal.[citation needed] She was raised in Kailali district. She now lives in Kathmandu.[citation needed]

She is actively involved in various projects related to women and children empowerment. "Unless the activism is grounded on a firm conviction", she says, "it cannot survive the test of time." For her, the awareness of being a woman in a society, where they are deprived of fully realizing themselves individuals, gave impetus for the activism. Unlike many activists, she doesn't consider her activism a separate part of her career, but an inevitable extension of being a woman with a voice in the country, where they have been silenced for too long.’’[citation needed] Reecha Sharma has acted in 17 movies, two of which she produced herself.

She is married to Deepeksha Bikram Rana in December 2019 in Kathmandu.[5][6] The actress was in a relationship with Rana for two years. He is the General Manager of Lalitpur-based Labim Mall;[7] she gave birth to a son in September 2021.[8]
