Having started her career in films as a child artist at a young age of two and a half years age, deep in heart she knew she belonged to the cinema. She has been through a long and interesting journey of exploring various departments in the industry while being behind as well as in front of the camera. Her first shot at direction was a song she directed in 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'. Recently, she has been in the news for the success of her directorial short 'Kajal' - a film about Women's right to be. The film had its world premiere at the New York Indian Film Festival and later had an Indian premiere in Mumbai. Kajal won the 'Best Film' & the 'Best Music' award at Feedback Female Film Festival held in Canada, it also won the 'Best Actress' award at the Banglore Shorts Film Festival.

Paakhi's directorial feature 'Pahuna' will also be out in theatres in the next few months. Pahuna is the journey of three kids from Nepal who get separated from their parents and find a home for themselves in the beautiful Indian state of Sikkim. The film has been made in Nepali, a language unknown to Paakhi; proving her to be a fearless filmmaker.
