‘Maili’, a collective lived experience of many

A rising star in the Nepali music industry, Ankita Pun talks about her recent hit 'Maili', her debut album, and her journey in pursuit of music.

Ankita Pun's song ' Maili' from her debut eponymous album has made the emerging Nepali singer the talk of the town. As a child, Pun grew up listening to the Nepali pop songs her dad played and the classic Narayan Gopal songs her mother played on the radio. Growing up in a musically inclined family, Pun started singing along with the humming of her parents and playing antakshari with her friends.
