Exciting times ahead for pageant enthusiasts.
The last quarter of the year 2017 is here, and it’s the most exciting and interesting quarter for the pageant enthusiasts as some of the major international pageants take place during this part of the year.
Along with the much anticipated Miss Universe debut by Nepal this year, a number of our delegates will be representing the nation at almost a dozen of different pageants in next three months.
Here, we shall take a look at the hunks who will be representing Nepal at some of the major male pageants this year.
Mister Grand International
Dikpal Karki is a model turned actor who had debuted with ‘Rang Baijani’ in 2015. A year later, he played the lead in a cricket-based film titled ‘Champion’. The 6 feet tall 28-year-old, who is also a veterinary doctor, is Mister Grand Nepal 2017; and hence, Nepal’s bet at Mister Grand International this year.
Quite a pageant icon; Karki had won Mr. Kathmandu in 2009. In 2012, he won the first runner-up position at Manhunt International Nepal. He represented Nepal at Mister Global 2016. He was the official choreographer of Mister World Nepal this year.
He is currently in Philippines where he is representing Nepal in Mister Grand International male pageant. He reached Manila last week where he has been taking part in various pre-events and activities for the pageant, ahead of its finale on October 6th.
