Hindu song controversy

She was widely criticized on Nepalese social media after the news published on online newspapers on Sep 5, 2014 saying that she refused to sing a festival greeting song because there was mention of Hindu deities in the lyrics.[1] Later she refused the allegation saying she did that because she was sick. In 2014 she converted to Christianity from Hinduism.[2][3][4][5][6]

In December 2009, at the 13th Close Up Hits FM Music Award function, she collected most of the titles, including Best Female Vocal Performance, and Best Record of the Year for "Nabirse Timilai", which is her biggest hit to date.[7]
