Jyoti Magar (also known as Jyoti Thapa Magar) is a Nepali folk (lok dohori) singer, model, and an actress.
She started her professional musical career in 2006 and since then, she has given a number of hit albums and has travelled extensively within and outside Nepal to perform in stage programs. Jyoti has been criticized by some media outlets and Nepali social media users for her provocative and glamorous way of dressing and dancing.Jyoti Magar signed up with a Kathmandu-based record company and recorded her first album in 2006. A music video was also produced, but the company later decided not to release the album, possibly due to risks involved in producing an album of a new singer en masse.
Her Controversies
A few television interviews that she appeared on were either censored and not broadcast at all due to her ‘inappropriate way of dressing’. Jyoti Magar’s interview conducted by Nepal Television Plus (NTV Plus) was never broadcast because the censor team found it apparently vulgar. Another interview for Himalayan Television was also censored due to dress issues.
Jyoti has slammed the claims that she dresses inappropriately and in a vulgar way. While questioning NTV’s decision not to broadcast her interview, she said to a Nepali online magazine, “showing little bit of cleavage is common even among those women who censored it, I was there in Nepali traditional dress, but it shouldn’t have been censored like that in any way”.
