Hindu song controversy
She was widely criticized on Nepalese social media after news reports on 5 September 2014 claimed that she refused to sing a festival greeting song because Hindu deities were mentioned in the lyrics.[6] Later she denied the allegation saying she had been sick. In 2014 she converted to Christianity from Hinduism.[7][8][9][10]
