Career

edit

Nandar Hlaing started her career as a calendar girl during the early 90s. 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.[3]
