Career
Miruna Magar started her career as a model and appeared in several music videos. In 2018, she had her first role in the film Lalpurja; she also starred in Rose in the same year. In 2019, she starred in Saino and Cha Cha Hui, which mostly received negative reviews from critics, although her performance was praised. She then starred in the record-breaking Kabaddi 4: The Final Match in 2022, which became the highest-grossing Nepali film of all time, collecting over 22.73 crores.
In 2022, while Magar was in promotion of her film Kabaddi 4: The Final Match, there was an incident where she claimed a monk touched her inappropriately, and she slapped him in public and humiliated him for the misbehavior. The monk asked for forgiveness. She filed a lawsuit against him, which she later dropped. Some people called it a publicity stunt; they even protested and wanted to ban the film. Consequently, it was banned in the Indian state of Sikkim. Later, when the incident started to get worse, she reached an agreement with the monk and apologized to the entire Buddhist community for the negative impact of the incident.
In 2023, she starred in Jaari, which earned 13 crore in its first two weeks of release and became one of the highest-grossing Nepali films.
