“We can live in self-respect and dignity only if every individual is united,” she said at a program organized on the occasion of the 299th Prithivi Jayanti and National Unity Day.

Actress Koirala also said this Day has its own significance as every Nepali, who loves the country, needs to come together, and be able to unite to give a common voice.

“We should understand that everyone loves their country. Nepalis love Nepal while Indians love India,” she said.
