Deepa Shree Niraula Recovering Under Specialist Care After Surgery
Popular Nepali actress and director Deepa Shree Niraula is recovering steadily after undergoing surgery for a brain tumour, with doctors reporting that her condition is stable and that no new complications have appeared following the operation.
Niraula underwent surgery at Annapurna Neurological Hospital in Maitighar, Kathmandu, under a medical team led by senior neurosurgeon Dr Basanta Pant. According to the hospital, the tumour was completely removed during the procedure.
Actor and producer Deepak Raj Giri, earlier shared that Niraula had been shifted from the intensive care unit to a general ward. He said her health was improving and that she could be discharged after a further period of observation.
In its medical update, Annapurna Neurological Hospital said Niraula had not developed any new health complications after surgery. She will remain under the direct supervision of specialist doctors while receiving the treatment and monitoring required during recovery.
The update has brought relief to fans and members of Nepal’s entertainment community, many of whom have been sharing messages wishing the filmmaker a speedy recovery.
However, no verified announcement confirming her discharge had been published by the time of this update on July 16.
# What is still unknown?
The hospital has not made the tumour’s pathology or classification public. It said the family would be informed about the tumour type and whether any additional treatment would be needed.
For that reason, claims about the tumour being benign or malignant, her long-term prognosis, or a definite date for her return to work should be treated as unconfirmed unless released by the hospital, Niraula, or her family.
# A major name in Nepali entertainment
Deepa Shree Niraula is one of Nepal’s best-known comedians, actresses and filmmakers. She became a household name through the television comedy series Tito Satya and later emerged as an influential director through the commercially successful Chhakka Panja franchise.
Her hospitalisation has therefore drawn widespread attention across Nepal’s film industry and among audiences who have followed her work for decades.
For now, the most encouraging verified information is that the operation was successful, the tumour was removed, she is out of intensive care and her health is stable.
Further updates should be based only on official hospital statements or information shared directly by Niraula, her family or authorised representatives.
