A polished and most celebrated comedian and film actor of Nepal, Acharya, during a launch ceremony of his book, wished he could be a god in his next life so that he in turn could transform the gods into human beings subject to pain, misery and suffering. He also made a confession that he had become an agnostic since all his efforts to save his wife, despite his devout worship of the gods, failed.{{cite web |title=Comedian Haribansh Acharya launches his autobiography with a salvo against gods |url=https://www.nepalnews.com/archive/2013/apr/apr30/news05.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304110256/https://www.nepalnews.com/archive/2013/apr/apr30/news05.php |archive-date=4 March 2016 |accessdate=11 June 2013 |publisher=Nepal News}} “I wrote this book to heal my pain of losing her,” he further added.{{cite web|author=Bidhan|title=Hari Bansha Acharya to publish Biography Cheena Harayeko Manchhe|url=http://bidhan1994.wordpress.com/2013/04/12/hari-bansha-acharya-to-publish-biography-cheena-harayeko-manchhe/|publisher=BIDHAN SPEAK|accessdate=11 June 2013|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130624165836/http://bidhan1994.wordpress.com/2013/04/12/hari-bansha-acharya-to-publish-biography-cheena-harayeko-manchhe/|archive-date=24 June 2013|url-status=dead}}
