Harish Sigdel (born 5 August 1981), better known as Aaryan Sigdell (Nepali: आर्यन सिग्देल, Listen), is a Nepalese film actor known for his work in Nepali Cinema. He is known for his wide range of roles.[4]

Aaryan Sigdel debuted in Kismat in 2007 and then played the lead role in the romantic-drama Mero Euta Saathi Chha as a young royal spoilt brat. The film was inspired by the Korean hit A Millionaire's First Love. His portrayal of Jay Shamsher Junga Bahadur Rana was highly appreciated and generated a fan base for him, and he has seen ups and downs in his career.

Early life

Aaryan Sigdel was born in Gothikada of Surkhet district on 5 August 1981.[1] Later, his family moved to Thankot, Kathmandu, where he spent most of his childhood.[2]

Personal life

Sigdel married Sapana Bhandari on 19 April 2014.[3] They have one son, who was born in 2019.[5]

Career

Sigdel's first lead role was in Kismat in 2007, opposite Biraj Bhatta and Rekha Thapa. Kismat was the highest-grossing film of the year and won a National Film Award. It was directed by Ujwal Ghimire. His second role was in Mausam, which became an average hit at the box office. In 2009, his third film, Mero Euta Saathi Cha, was released and met with a positive response from critics and the audience.[6]

In 2010, his six films were released. Two of his films, Kohi Mero and Bandhi, did not do well at the box office, while the sixth release, Kasle Choryo Mero Man, opposite Rekha Thapa, broke all the records at the box office and became one of the biggest hits in Nepali cinema. Though the rumours of fallout between the pair (him and Rekha Thapa), is heard quite often but their pair is said to be the best onscreen pair in Nepali films compared to that of Rajesh Hamal and Karishma Manandar and Nikhil Upreti and Arunima Lamsal.[7]
