Archana Paneru is a Nepali erotic model, movie actress, and an aspiring porn star. Archana Paneru was born in 1999 in the Bhasi village of Mahendranagar, Kanchanpur. Strongly supported by her mother Sunita Paneru, Archana claims to debut as Nepal’s first professional porn-star.
Prior to entering erotic modeling, Archana attended Little Buddha Academy Mahendranagar and was the second runner off in Price & Princess of Mahendranagar beauty contest. Following the media scandals involving her nude photos, Archana was reportedly expelled from the school.
Archana has repeatedly said in media interviews that she takes Bolloywood actress and former porn-star Sunny Leone as an inspiration. Some people have compared Archana with another popular former erotic Nepali model in the USA, Bindu Pariyar. Bindu’s case, however, was of human trafficking and compulsion, whereas, Archana is said to be doing everything voluntarily.
In July 2015, Archana and her mother Sunita were arrested by the Nepal Police for public obscenity as the duo kept posting vulgar and nude photos online. The police organised a counselling session and asked them not to proliferate vulgarity in the sensitive Nepali culture. Reportedly, they agreed not to continue their previous actions and, subsequently, were released from the police custody.
