Hello
My name is Bhawani Aryal, and I am from Nepal. I’ve been doing theatre for the last 2 years.
I read your site, but you have asked to apply only only from people with an Indian citizen. I am not Indian, but I would like to study the 3 years course in theatre in NSD.
I know that you had 3 Nepali students in the past (like Sunil Pokhrel and Anup Baral). Can I please also get this chance?
I want to join nsd because i like to do acting or drama.I want to know nsd is open throughout the year or for summer vacations only.Thankyou!
