BEST  ACTRESS – GEETANJALI  THAPA – Don Bosco STUDENT !

Geetanjali Thapa recently won the National Best Actress Award for her performance in “Liar’s Dice”. She did her studies in Don Bosco School, Malbasey, Sikkim – a product of Don Bosco’s principle, “Give the best to the poorest.” Malbasey is just a small village in a remote corner of East Sikkim.

She is very attached to her alma mater, visits frequently and remains in steady contact with the Salesians and teachers. She passed out from Don Bosco in 2004. Her acting career started in 2010.

Within her short career she has acted several other films such as: White Lies, I.D, Monsoon Shootout, That Day after Everyday”. She has also featured in commercials for L’Oreal, Maggi, Boroplus, and Move. Her films have been screened at the Cannes Film Festival 2013, Sundane Film Festival 2014 and Busan Film Festival 2012.

She also won : Best Actress Award at the New York Indian Film Festival 2014 for her performance inn Liar’s Dice; Best Performance Award at the Los Angeles Film Festival 2013 for I.D; Best Actress Award at the Imagine India International Film Festival at Madrid 2013 for Monsoon Shootout. 

The school is as proud of Geetanjali as she is grateful to the school. It is, indeed, a tremendous achievement both for Geetanjali and for Don Bosco Malbasey that her talents could be nurtured to high levels in such a small, remote village.

Well, THE BEST TO THE POOREST !
