कहिलेकाहीं केही मानिसहरूसँगको भेटले हाम्रो सोच, दृष्टिकोण र जीवन बुझ्ने तरिकामा परिवर्तन ल्याइदिन्छ। आज म जसको बारेमा लेख्दै छु, उहाँ त्यस्तै एक व्यक्ति हुनुहुन्छ—रोज मोक्तान।
उहाँ एक सफल गायक हुनुहुन्छ। दर्जनौं गीतहरू, सयौं मञ्चीय प्रस्तुतिहरू, हजारौं प्रशंसकहरू। तर यी सबैभन्दा माथि उठेर म भन्न चाहन्छु—उहाँ एक असल मान्छे हुनुहुन्छ।
८ वर्षअगाडि बुद्ध जयन्तीको अवसरमा आयोजित कार्यक्रममा उहाँसँग पहिलोपटक भेट भएको थियो। त्यो समयदेखि आजसम्म उहाँले जुन कुरा सधैं बोकेर हिँड्नु भएको छ, त्यो हो—विनम्रता। न आँखामा घमण्ड, न व्यवहारमा रुखोपन। न आफू कलाकार भन्ने दम्भ, न नाम कमाएको घमण्ड।
मैले त्यो कार्यक्रमपछि सोचें—”साँचो कलाकार भनेको यस्तै हुँदो रहेछ।”
INAS Musical Dhamaka 2025 मा उहाँ फेरि यूएई आउनुभयो। म उहाँलाई फेरि देख्दा एउटा गायक भन्दा बढी—एउटा प्रेरक व्यक्तित्व देखेँ। गीत गाउने व्यक्तिले त मन जित्न सक्छ, तर हृदय जित्ने गुण त केवल असली मानिसमै हुन्छ।
उहाँको मञ्चीय प्रस्तुति झन् उत्कृष्ट थियो, तर त्यसपछि उहाँले सबैलाई खुलेर भेट्नु, पुराना अनुहार चिन्न खोज्नु, सम्मानपूर्वक व्यवहार गर्नु—यी कुराले उहाँलाई “स्टार” होइन, “साँचो कलाकार” बनाउँछ।
आजभोलि धेरै कलाकारहरू मञ्चमा झल्किने बत्तीसँगै झल्किन्छन्—तर बत्ती निभेपछि हराउँछन्। तर रोज मोक्तानजस्तो कलाकार—उहाँको प्रकाश उहाँकै आत्माबाट आउँछ।
म उहाँका गीतहरू मन पराउँछु, म उहाँको आवाजको फ्यान हुँ—तर आज यो ब्लग लेख्दै गर्दा, म भन्न चाहन्छु—
“म उहाँको स्वभावको फ्यान हुँ।“
उहाँलाई जति नजिकबाट बुझियो, उति बढी सम्मान गर्न मन लाग्छ।
रोज दाइ, तपाईंको जस्तो नम्रता, सरलता र सच्चाइ नेपाली समुदायमा उदाहरण बन्न सकोस् भन्ने शुभकामना व्यक्त गर्दछु। तपाईंको यात्रा अझ दीर्घ, अझ उज्यालो होस्।

Sometimes in life, we come across people who don’t just impress us with their talent, but deeply touch our hearts through their character. One such person, for me, is none other than Roj Moktan.
He is a successful Nepali singer with a soulful voice, numerous hit songs, and countless admirers. But beyond the stage lights and applause, there is a humble, grounded, and genuinely respectful human being—and that’s what makes him truly special.
I first met Roj Dai eight years ago during an event organized to celebrate Buddha Jayanti. At that time, I was just another audience member—yet the way he interacted with everyone, the way he spoke with warmth and humility, left a lasting impression on me.
There was no ego, no attitude of being a “celebrity.” Just a calm, sincere person who treated everyone with equal respect.
That one encounter made me realize:
“A true artist is not just known by his songs, but by his soul.”
Fast forward to INAS Musical Dhamaka 2025, I had the opportunity to meet him again here in the UAE. After so many years, I saw the same Roj Moktan—humble, approachable, and filled with grace. Despite his continued success, he remains deeply rooted and effortlessly kind.
His performance on stage was electrifying, but what touched me the most was what happened offstage—his willingness to meet everyone, remember old faces, and make every person feel valued.
In a world where fame often changes people, Roj Moktan stands out as someone who carries his success with humility. While many artists shine only under stage lights, his light comes from within.
Yes, I am a fan of his music. I love his voice and his songs.
But more than that,
I am a fan of the person he is.
Roj Dai, thank you for being not just a gifted singer but an even more remarkable human being.
Your humility is your greatest melody.
