Nepal, Oct. 31 -- Pushpa Thing Lama, the lead actor of Nepali film 'Elephants in the Fog' (Tiniharu), has won the Best Performance award at the 19th Asia Pacific Screen Awards held in Gold Coast, Australia.

Lama was recognised for her portrayal of Pirati, a member of the kinnar community, in the film directed by Abinash Bikram Shah. The film, a co-production between Nepal, Germany, Brazil, France and Norway, has earned international recognition since its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.

"This honour is a matter of great pride for me," Lama said after receiving the award, describing it as a milestone in her life. "It has connected me to Pirati's character forever."

Shah also congratulated the actor on social media...
