After her marriage, she migrated to the U.S., where she completed her post-graduate education. She also pursued her passion for acting, performing in several local Indian plays including “Anarkali,” “Mirza Sahiba,” “Pati, Patni aur Makaan,” “Silence, the Court is in Session,” "Singhsan Khali Hai" and particularly enchanting the audiences with her role in the musical opera, "Ambi Da Buta." She also played small roles in Hollywood productions like "Head of The Class," "Watano Dur," a film made in Canada, and in the TV serial "Lehren," for which she wrote the title song for a well known radio station in San Francisco.
Her lyrics have inspired Darwan Naithwal, a singer of repute from Uttrakhand, India, to sing her poetry in a "Pahadi" style for a music video.
An issue close to her heart has been that one of domestic violence, which led her to the foundation of the non-profit organization, Jagriti. This subject is also at the heart of her second novel, "Saat Pheron Se Dhokha." Both this novel, and her first novel, "Saat Samunder Paar," have been highly acclaimed in the U.S. and in India, where she has been honored with several literary awards. She is working on her third novel based on Reincarnation.view less
