Nepali singer Sushant KC delivered a spectacular performance at Sallaghari, Bhaktapur, on Saturday, drawing thousands of fans eager to hear him sing. However, what caught everyone’s attention was the unexpected presence of actress Anna Sharma on stage. As Sushant sang his popular track ‘Sarangi’, Anna danced along, creating a visually romantic moment that had fans buzzing.
This surprise appearance comes amid rumors of a breakup between Sushant and Anna, which surfaced after Sushant unfollowed Anna on TikTok. Their apparent separation coincided with the promotional phase of Anna’s upcoming film, ‘Actor: Take One’, fueling speculation that the entire drama was a strategic publicity stunt.
Social Media Moves Spark Speculation
The breakup rumors gained traction after Sushant refused to answer questions about attending the press conference for his own concert. Meanwhile, Anna also hinted at a breakup in some media interactions. Fans began to speculate whether the two had truly split or if they were orchestrating a media frenzy for promotional purposes.
Adding to the confusion, Sushant has now followed Anna back on TikTok and even welcomed her to his concert. This unexpected reunion has left fans wondering—was the ‘breakup’ a genuine personal issue or just a calculated move to keep them in the limelight?
Publicity Stunts in the Entertainment Industry
The timing of their rumored split has led many to believe it could be a marketing gimmick for both the concert and Anna’s movie. In the entertainment industry, such tactics are not uncommon.
A similar situation recently occurred in Hollywood, where actress Zendaya unfollowed her boyfriend Tom Holland on Instagram just before the release of her film ‘Challengers’. However, after the movie’s debut, she followed him back, leading many to suspect it was a publicity move to generate buzz.
In Bollywood, too, stars frequently make headlines with their relationships, often just before the release of a film or major event. If Sushant and Anna have taken inspiration from such tactics, they are certainly not alone.
Fans React to the Controversy
Social media is divided on the issue. While some fans believe the couple genuinely parted ways and later reconciled, others argue that Nepali celebrities are adopting Western-style PR stunts to gain traction.
A Twitter user wrote, “Nepali celebrities have now learned the art of Hollywood and Bollywood-style promotions. The timing of Sushant KC and Anna Sharma’s breakup and patch-up is too suspicious!”
Another fan countered, “Why can’t people just believe they had issues and worked them out? Not everything is a publicity stunt.”
The Impact on ‘Actor: Take One’ and Sushant’s Concert
Regardless of the truth behind their relationship status, the drama has undeniably benefited both parties. The buzz surrounding their ‘breakup’ has increased engagement on social media, bringing additional attention to Anna’s film ‘Actor: Take One’, which is gearing up for its release. Meanwhile, Sushant’s concert received extensive media coverage, with many now analyzing his on-stage chemistry with Anna.
Whether their breakup was real or staged, one thing is clear—Sushant KC and Anna Sharma have successfully kept fans and the media talking. As their projects unfold, it remains to be seen whether this was a cleverly planned strategy or just a natural turn of events.
