Manisha Adhikary, a Tik Toker from Kathmandu, said, 'Tik Tok is just a medium for entertainment and you don't have to think so seriously. As a content creator on Tik Tok, you shouldn't shoot a movie at a famous temple. If so, it's important to understand that you don't necessarily have to shoot there. It's the creativity that matters, not the place where you shoot the video. '
