Kathmandu. The dream of 23-year-old Birkh Vishwakarma from Jumla is to become successful in music. Having worked in hundreds of songs and music videos, he says that people should not stop dreaming.
After the blood cancer was confirmed 7 months ago, his musical career suffered a setback, but he has not been disturbed. Suffering from second stage cancer, he is receiving regular treatment.
The hundreds of songs he has sung in his 9-year musical career are giving him hope for life. However, his hopes were dashed after he succumbed to the disease. This Thita, who wants to make a future in music, has now got musical confidence.
Artists Dipashree Niraula, Mithila Sharma, Nirmal Sharma, Ramesh Budhatho have stood as Birkh’s trust. With the help of this mankari, Birkh released a new music video ‘Uni Ta Merei Hunewali Hun’ on Wednesday.
Praveesha Adhikari has accompanied her in the singing of the song composed by Birkh Swayam. Deepashree has directed the song with dance direction by Gambhir Bista. Deepashree, Nirmal has prepared this song amidst the chatter of ‘Chakkapanja 5’.
Deepashree, Nirmal, Mithila and Ramesh have acted in the video without taking any salary to boost the self-esteem of Birkh, a cancer sufferer. This team also helped in post-production and other technical work.
Deepashree said to Online Khabar, ‘We have helped him to increase his self-confidence and get the strength to fight the disease.
Deepashree also said that they will help in the treatment of Birkh. They are ready to help such talented artists in the future. Deepashree said that when Birkh initially approached them through Facebook, they could not refuse and saw a bright future in Birkh.
Birkh also expressed his happiness for this helping hand. Birkh, who lost his parents at a young age, said, “The day I met my sisters and brothers, it was like meeting a guardian.”
According to actor Nirmal Sharma, Jumla MP Gyanendra Shahi has promised to take initiative in the province to help in the treatment of Birkh. This is the song brought by Birkh:
