By 2019, Majhi was earning a salary of Rs 50,000 (US $400) per song, making her the highest paid singer in Nepal. She was recording around half a dozen songs a month. In mid-2019, her salary doubled to Rs 100,000 per song.

Her absence from public life prompted speculation that she might be being controlled and abused by her husband. This led the Chief District Officer of Syangja to intervene. The couple was interviewed at the District Administration Office on 6 January 2019, where she was reunited with her father after 11 years. According to the Police, Majhi attributed her choice of a private life to her lack of a formal education, and her trust in her husband's better-educated decisions. Their inter-caste marriage was given as the reason for her estrangement from her kin. She was asked to remove her face mask and scarf for physical examination; the Police said that there were no signs of physical violence on her face. One of the interviewers, Superintendent of Police Rajkumar Lamsal, said Adhikari answered most of the questions asked to Majhi, and that it was hard to conclude Majhi was living a free life.

Her 2018 song "Salko Patko Tapari Huni" set the record for most viewed Nepali folk duet on Youtube, amassing 30 million views within six months. By early 2020, it had reached 50 million views. It won Folk Record of the Year Award at the 23rd annual Hits FM Music Awards. She had previously been nominated in 2018 in the same category, but did not win. "Lalumai" was also popular; it reached 10 million views in the first month of its release.

Majhi is estimated to have sung over 5,000 songs, popular among them—"Kaslai Sodhne Hola", "Sital Dine Pipal Sami Cha", "Driver Dai Man Paryo Malai", "Lalupate Nughyo Bhuintira", "Mai Chori Salala", "Na Jau Hai Sanu Pandherima", "Tyo Man Runna Hola Ra?", "Purbako Mechi Ni Hamrai Ho, Pascim Mahakali Ni Hamrai Ho", "Ghamle Ni Poldiyo, Junle Ni Jado Bho", "Hare Siva Ram", "Rumal Hallai Hallai" and "Bhetai Hunna Hola Ra".

She was noticed by singer/composer Sundar Mani Adhikari at the folk singing competition in Palpa festival, who later took her to Kathmandu to turn her into a professional singer. After living with him for eight years, she married him on 15 December 2011 (29 Mangsir 2068 BS) in a private ceremony in Ram Temple, Pokhara. She has twin sons born around 2015–16.

In Kathmandu, she earned Rs 2,500 per song in the early days. She had become a successful folk singer by 2007–08. She started earning Rs 6,000 per song, recording as many as 5–6 songs a day. She won Best Folk Singer Award at the Kalika FM Music Awards in 2008, and again in 2012. In 2011, "Shital Dine Pipal Sami Cha" and "Phul Ramro Gulabko", sung with Yaam Chhetri, became popular. Her 2012 song "Euta Aatma Cha", sung with Pashupati Sharma for the album Campus Padhna Jaani, was also popular.

Born to a poor family in rural Syangja, she was educated up to the fifth grade, and started singing at public events aged 13. She quickly rose to fame after she began her professional career in Kathmandu around the year 2004, with help from Sundarmani Adhikari, who she would later marry. She has led a private life throughout her career, with her husband managing all her contracts, schedule and communications, leading to speculations and public concern regarding her wellbeing and safety.

Majhi started singing in public events at age 13, with the support of singer Narayan Lekali, a resident of a neighbouring village. She was a regular participant at regional folk singing competitions by age 15. She and Lekali participated in the competition at Butwal festival when she was 15; they won second prize. They then competed in Palpa festival where they won first prize. Sundarmani Adhikari, who was also a participant at the event, noticed her and later persuaded her family to send her to Pokhara under his guardianship. In April 2004, they competed together at Lekhnath festival in Pokhara and won first prize. He then took her to Kathmandu to start a professional career. Prior to meeting Adhikari, Majhi had already recorded her first song "Aamale Arti Dine Ghar Jane Bela" at Phewa Digital Studio in Pokhara.
