Sonakshi Sinha in Kathmandu for charity event

Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha arrived here on Friday to perform at a concert named 'Amarpanchhi' which is set to take place at Tundikhel, in the centre of the Nepali capital.

The concert, to be held on Saturday, is being organised by Spouse Association of Nepal Army which is leding by the wife of Nepal's Army Chief General Rajendra Chettri.

Sonakshi's visit was kept secret from the media to keep the crowds away as there is a huge craze for Bollywood stars in Nepal. When landing in Kathmandu, Sonakshi looked sporty wearing a black cap, glares, and a white T-shirt on a black top.

This is Sonakshi's first visit to Nepal.

She had tweeted: "Nepal!! See u tomorrow, 14 May at Tudikhel. #AmarPanchhi - Rising from the ashes. Lets dance #TogetherforNepal".

Another actress, Malaika Arora Khan, will be joining Sonakshi at the concert. Malaika is scheduled to reach here later on Friday.

They will perform at the charity program for victims of last year's earthquake that took a toll on the city and its dwellers. Actresses from the Nepali film industry Rekha Thapa, Richa Thapa, Nisha Adhikari, Priyanka Karki, Indira Joshi, Sushma Karki, Keki Adhikari and Sahana Bajracharya, among others, will perform at the programme.
