In the village, paddy planting was going on in June of 2064. But in Rolpa Hwama (now the family lives in Liwang) Shantishri Pariyar was wondering when he would reach Kathmandu. Shanti told mother Dilsara to go to Kathmandu to become a singer. But the mother said, 'Daughter is a person. The age is too young. Why go to the deserted city? Shanti, who obeyed the family's advice, was adamant about this.

She used to sing while going to the forest to cut grass or to sing in the cultural program organized in the school. Those who went to the grass together used to make him sing songs. Even if they were together in the melodious voice of Shanti, they would feel their fatigue disappear. However, she does not stick to just singing songs in the village. Dreaming of becoming a singer, Sanchi took a night bus to Kathmandu with a single kurta-suruwal in her bag. After spending twenty four hours, she landed in the foreign city of Kathmandu. Shantika took to Kathmandu at the age of 16 and then the days of struggle began. 

After some time, Baghbazar's jovial Chautari Dohri started singing songs in the evening. Dohri would pay the room rent with the money she earned by singing in the evenings and thus make a living. For 068 years she sang in double evenings. In the same year, for the first time, she recorded the song 'Ghar Chah Tin Tale.....' with the rhythm of Diwan Kinar with her own investment. She spent about one lakh to produce this song. The song did not take the market as expected. In 070, she sang the song 'Machilai Furlung...' with Milan Lama.

In October 070 she recorded 'Ekrakari Maya...'. He had his own investment in it. The song became known among composers of rhythms in the musical field. Although it introduced him in the music industry, the audience liked the first song a bit more. But the song 'Machilai Furlung...' sung with Milan went well. "This song took me abroad, I was able to directly reach the audience living abroad," she said. At that time I went to Oman for the first time and Hong Kong for the second time.' 

After that, she started getting stage shows organized at home and abroad. Then singer Pashupati Sharma started remembering him during Teej. She sang Teej song with Sharma for three consecutive years. After the Baisakh earthquake of 072, she sang the song 'Sato Phuk Jhankri Ba...' with Pashupati from Teetka of the same year. Singer Sharma tried to capture the mood of the audience who were under mental stress after the earthquake. She sang the songs 'Buhari Sutkeri Baichha...' and 'Mero Son Doi Nambari Gar...' with Pashupati. Shanti also acted along with Pashupati in all the songs. The song was well liked by the audience. 

After that, Shanti became a little known among the audience. He was struggling in the music field. In June 075, when she sang the song 'Bolmaya...' with singer Prakash Saput, her busyness started increasing. A year later, Prakash released another song, 'Galbandi Chateo...'. In the song Shanti has given voice along with Prakash. The reality of the village has been tried to be shown through songs and videos.

The song 'Galbandi Chatio...' has been viewed more than 60 million times on YouTube so far. The song is loved by children and adults alike. After these two songs, Shanti also did not have to return to the music field.

'These two songs greatly increased the speed of my musical journey,' she says, 'Then I also sang 'Kura Pheerana' with Prakash.' She only sang the song. It got a lot of discussion. Everyone liked it. After that, his hit songs came one after another. Most of the songs he sings are not below crores on YouTube channel. The songs he sang were not only hits. His busyness also increased.

The song was made with her own investment. 

'I enjoy everything, are you the singer who sings this song after watching my stage show?

Lately, the song 'Tallo Bato...', which contains the stories of Nepalis going to America from the lower road, is in discussion. The song which is sung by Khem Century and him.

'For a song to be a hit, the singer sang well, the writer wrote well and the composition was also good, but if the music video goes bad, the song is not good, so for a song to be a hit, many aspects need to be combined, so the song must be good,' he smiled. She says, 'It seems that the songs that have been well made from the roots are always in my part.' There is not a moment when his songs are not played in cultural events, parties and feasts. "I am also a very fun person," she says, "sometimes when I am walking, I feel like dancing while I am walking." She has visited 16 countries in the series of musical programs. She has sung in programs in more than 50 districts of Nepal.  Since she is busy with

program, she is active in song recording when she comes to Kathmandu. Although born in Rolpa, she married Narayan Bhujel from Sankhu in Neelkanth Municipality of Dhading. Now she has a 3 and a half year old daughter living in Ranibari, Kathmandu. She has experienced equal parts of happiness and sadness in life. Also, she became emotional when she performed in front of her father Karma and mother Dilsara at the 'Rolpa Mahotsav' held last year in her home district. I got an opportunity to sit in front of my parents and sing a song at a musical program in Rolpa. When I talked about my struggle to become a singer on stage, my parents cried. The audience became emotional," she said, "I didn't realize that I was also crying tears of joy while speaking."

Shanti's father went to India and worked as a laborer to raise, raise and nurture. "My father struggled and created an environment for me to come to this place," she says, "my father's path made me a struggle too." What does it take to become a good singer like you? 'In the beginning, I have to recognize that I have/don't have what it takes to be a singer, it's something to think about before entering any field,' she says, 'After seeing that person succeed, I chose this field by recognizing that, the field that I'm in. If you think you will be successful, you will make your future in that field.'
