He has been active in his media career as well as in advocating various issues. He was also involved in a workshop on Human Trafficking held on 2nd December 2007, in association with UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime). Besides advocating on issues of Human Trafficking, he is also an avid advocator of ending the culture of impunity in Nepal as he feels that the victims are routinely denied justice because the perpetrators of human rights violations continuously enjoy impunity, which has become a major challenge for the country that is trying to enter into a new phase.

Involved with the entertainment business for more than a decade, he had chosen the path of activism to fight for a cause. Unlike his job in the media house, activism for him is not a tool of making a life rather it is a platform to fight for a cause, to fight against injustice. During his decade long career in the media business, he has not only worked as an RJ for the Radio Kantipur but has also hosted several programs, on television as well as live programs on stage and has also tried his hands in modeling.
