Kishan Adhikari, a 31-year-old from Kathmandu, Nepal, has lived in Spain for over nine years and is part of Madrid's small Nepali community. Despite facing challenges with his 'third world' passport, he has achieved significant milestones in music and acting. After moving to Europe to escape a heroin epidemic in his neighborhood, he faced a scam by his university and had to work various jobs to stay. He sang in the metro, where he met Mimi Doblas (Lola Índigo) before her fame. Adhikari couldn't join her in 'Operación Triunfo' due to his irregular status. His talent in singing led to a theater job, which helped him get residency. He was surprisingly selected for 'GOT Talent España' and received praise from judges. After eight years, he visited his family in Nepal, learned mindfulness, and upon returning, landed a role in the movie 'La Cima' as a sherpa. He continues to work as a cook and was a finalist on Telemadrid's 'Lalalá'. Adhikari encourages others to persevere despite hardships and plans to return to Nepal to reconnect with his roots and family.
