Here are five facts about Usha Rajak that you might not know:

1. I am an actor first. Then I’m a pastry chef, published journalist, and a filmmaker. I also can draw, paint and write poems. Apart from that, once I got an award for photography. Now I’m into communications. Well, I like to do everything.

2. When I was seven-years-old, I burnt my whole face and neck with hot oil while trying to cook in the kitchen. It took a while to heal, and thanks to my mother’s experience in healthcare, I’m left with only a few scars from that event.

3. I got into social service when I was nine years old. My first job as a volunteer was at Patan Hospital. I delivered food to the patients who had visitors during doctors’ round hours. These days I run cooking classes for the elderly.

4. I live in Kyrgyzstan, a beautiful country in Central Asia. I look for partnership with local organizations and people to give back to the community. This way I can use my skills and resources for a better life of my fellow Nepalese family across the country.

 

5. I am a polyglot. Apart from speaking four languages, I am fluent in Russian.
