Bollywood star Urmila Matondkar inaugurated the Casino Shangrila, the newest addition of gaming facility in Kathmandu.
Urmila wearing white sleeveless t-shirt with colourful Punjabi Lehenga inaugurated the seventh casino of Nepal in Hotel Shangri-La by lighting the traditional lamp last evening amidst hundreds of guests including some 100 veteran players from India.
It's a lovely country with warm and friendly people", she said talking to PTI after the inaugural function. "I will be back soon, it's an absolutely wonderful country," she said.
"I would go back and tell people of India and other artists to visit this beautiful country," she said when asked how she would promote tourism in Nepal.
"I will learn how to play games," Urmila responded evading direct answer to the question whether she is fond of casino games.
Urmila, who is in the country for a three-day visit, did not give any performance but watched others dance in tune with Hindi music including "Kanta Laga".
The actress visited Swoyambhunath, the famous Buddhist Stupa in the outskirt of Kathmandu.
The four storey casino with its 400 plus staff is targeting Indian as well as Bangladeshis. "Our emphasis is quality service and customer satisfaction", Casino's Human Resources Director Nila Ashrof said.
The casino, which offers both entertainment, glamour and gaming facilities aims to attract high class players from South Asian countries, she said.
