Career

Starting from early 2000s, she began her career as a model in music videos of famous singers in Myanmar. In 2003, 2004, and 2005, she became a household name for her cute and innocent acting in TV commercials. She was replaced as the Queen of TVC after the famous actress, Htet Htet Moe Oo.

Then, she rose into fame of the top actress in 2009. From 2010, she established herself as one of the leading actresses in Myanmar. Nowadays, she is considered as one of the most popular and talented actresses of Burmese cinema.

She has received two Myanmar Academy Awards for Best Actress for her role in the films Adam, Eve and Datsa for 2012[7] and My Lovely Hate for 2016.[1]
