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.

The movement was launched on social media, and many celebrities have joined the movement.^[9][10]

On 3 April 2021, warrants for her arrest were issued under section 505 (a) of the penal code by the State Administration Council for speaking out against the military coup. Along with several other celebrities, she was charged with calling for participation in the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) and damaging the state's ability to govern, with supporting the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw, and with generally inciting the people to disturb the peace and stability of the nation.^[11]
