Career

During the country's transition to an open market system and the increasing popularity of TV commercials, she became a popular commercial actress along with Htet Htet Moe Oo and Khaing Thin Kyi. The Myanmar film industry then was on a decline due to shrinkage of the market and resulted in the expansion of video industry. Nandar Hlaing quickly transitioned to Video and Films, gradually establishing herself as one of the leading actresses of the country.{{cite news|url=http://www.yatanarpon.com.mm/news/news-65633?print=1|script-title=my:ကိုရီးယားထုတ် MISSHA အလှကုန် မိုးရာသီ အထူးအစီအစဉ် အဖြစ် စျေးလျှော့ရောင်းမည်|last=ချစ်ဆုဆွေ |author2=အိမ်စည်စိုးစံ|date=22 April 2015|work=Yatanarpon|language=Burmese|access-date=11 July 2015}}{{dead link|date=February 2024|bot=medic}}
