Amrit Gurung struggled hard for livelihood in his early life. His hobbies, painting and photography, earned him bread in the past. “I did my study through the income of my paintings and earned my bread by photographing weddings,” says Gurung.<\/p>\n
However, Gurung left his painting hobby as he found a passionate musician in him. \u201cI lost my habit of playing with colors and instead started to play with music. I neither had a music teacher nor any type of formal training. I had always loved music,\u201d says Gurung.<\/p>\n
Eventually, his passion drove him to come up with Nepathya, along with the other three members.<\/p>\n
Down to Earth<\/h4>\n
Huge following and celebrity status did not change the lifestyle of Amrit Gurung. According to Gurung, simplicity & positive attitude makes a better living.<\/p>\n
“It wouldn’t be strange for someone to see me riding down the highway in a truck or sitting on the lap of mountain reading a book. I have never seen myself as a star nor do I try to be. I enjoy both the sad & happy parts of my life and look at every moment as a positive one. This way of thinking has made my life rich. My life is beautiful the way it is,” says Gurung.<\/p>\n
Talking about his successful career, Amrit Gurung says, \u201cI went on singing for my own satisfaction and I got satisfaction by what music gave me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
