Success and fame

As a newscaster for Radio Nepal and a folk singer, she quickly became a familiar voice in the Nepalese household, because of the radio's accessibility to the remotest regions of the country. She has released more than a dozen albums throughout her career. In addition, she is an entertainer at public events. She also trains aspiring radio and tv journalists.


Politics

She left her job at Radio Nepal to join the Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal which stands for reinstating monarchy and Hindu state. However, before the 2017 elections, she joined the Nepal Communist Party (United Marxist Leninist). When she did not feature in the list of party candidates in the election, she registered a rebel candidacy as an independent in her hometown constituency. Later, she withdrew her candidacy and announced support for the party candidate. She is currently serving as a member of the National Assembly. She was nominated by her party to fill the reserved quota for women from her home province.
