Career
Sigdel's first lead role was in Kismat in 2007, opposite Biraj Bhatta and Rekha Thapa. Kismat was the highest-grossing film of the year and won a National Film Award. It was directed by Ujwal Ghimire. His second role was in Mausam, which became an average hit at the box office. In 2009, his third film, Mero Euta Saathi Cha, was released and met with a positive response from critics and the audience.
In 2010, his six films were released. Two of his films, Kohi Mero and Bandhi, did not do well at the box office, while the sixth release, Kasle Choryo Mero Man, opposite Rekha Thapa, broke all the records at the box office and became one of the biggest hits in Nepali cinema. Though the rumours of fallout between the pair (him and Rekha Thapa), is heard quite often but their pair is said to be the best onscreen pair in Nepali films compared to that of Rajesh Hamal and Karishma Manandar and Nikhil Upreti and Arunima Lamsal.
