Speaking about Nepal, Urmila told a news agency after the inaugural function: "It's a lovely country with warm and friendly people."
"I will be back soon, it's an absolutely wonderful country," she said.
"I would go back and tell people of India and other artists to visit this beautiful country," she said when asked how she would promote tourism in Nepal.
