Throughout her school years, she took part in various singing competitions, earning multiple accolades for her performances.
Her father had traveled abroad for work in his youth, but due to health issues, he had to return to Nepal. With no stable source of income, the family faced financial difficulties. As a result, her mother later moved abroad to support the household.
