Devyani Rana was the girlfriend of Crown Prince Dipendra of Nepal. She is the daughter of Pashupati Shumsher Jung Bahadur Rana, the president of one of the democratic political parties of Nepal - The Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP). Image File history File links Broom_icon. ... A Crown Prince or Crown Princess is the heir or heiress apparent to the throne in a royal or imperial monarchy. ... Dipendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev, King of Nepal (June 27, 1971 – June 4, 2001) was King of Nepal from June 1 to June 4, 2001. ...


According to published reports, the refusal of Dipendra's parents to consent to his marriage with Devyani was the cause of the massacre of the royal family in Nepal. Devyani is a member of the C class Rana family via her father. Her mother is from an influential Indian royal family (the Scindias, see Madhavrao Scindia). She has only one sibling, a sister. The Shah family of Nepalese kings has a long history animosity with the Rana family. The Rana clan had served as the hereditary prime ministers of Nepal until 1951, with the title Maharaja. However Shah kings and princes have married almost exclusively members of the A Class Rana family. The Prince reportedly shot and murdered nine members of his family before being mortally wounded himself (either by his own hand or by the Palace Guard). He was proclaimed King of Nepal whilst in a coma. He died two days later.

She fled to India immediately after the royal massacre to escape media attention. Rana married businessman Aishwarya Singh, the grandson of Indian Human Resources Minister Arjun Singh, on February 22, 2007. The ceremony witnessed by 5,000 guests included dignitaries from India and various parts of the world. Rana currently works for the United Nations Development Program.
