Although she is a new face in the industry but getting all the way long to stand where she is today comes with a price.

Acting, dancing or film stuff has never been a pleasing word for her father. Much against the wish of her father, she continued to live her dream (Dancing), she manages to participate in school or local functions without the knowledge of her parents and there was time when she even suffered bone injury at her leg after receiving beatings from her father, she recalled.

But her father had to concede to her stubbornness finally and now every one is on her side, she grind.

Although new she is making her presence felt, at very early entry she won the best camera choice award sub-title at Dawn 2006 besides that she also played a lead role in a teleplay called "Ichadagi Isuna Hena Nungsi" for the DDK.

Career Choice: If she has to choose education, she aims to become a teacher - on the other hand if film is the choice she will do it to the extreme limit, adds Rita.

According to her film industry is a kind of platform for socialization, a big family or a team where once you get involved in the company of the crew, one can forget all the worries for a while.

Her point of view is that the Manipur film Industry today has advanced a lot comparing to earlier days. The only problem is the technical shortcomings.
