Early life
Thapa was born on 8 May 1998 in Kathmandu, Nepal, to film producer Sunil Kumar Thapa and actress Jharana Thapa.[5] She grew up in a family associated with the Nepali film industry and was exposed to filmmaking from an early age. Reflecting on growing up in a film family, Thapa said, “Growing up in a family that has a legacy in the film industry is not easy. There are always expectations from the viewers, and people expect you to live up to the name and be like those who came before you. At times, that can be challenging, but I feel humble and grateful for whatever I have received and for the opportunities that have come my way.”[5]
Thapa spent part of her childhood in a hostel and completed her early education in Nepal. She later attended school in New Delhi, India. She subsequently continued her studies at Teachers College, Columbia University, United States, where she pursued further education. Her time abroad exposed her to a different environment and allowed her to pursue studies outside the film industry.[6]
