Early Life
Sinha was born to Albert Sinha, in a Indian-Nepali Christian family in Nepal. They named her Alda. Her friends at school used to tease her by calling her Dalda (a brand of vegetable oil), so she changed her name to Mala. In her childhood she learnt dancing and singing.
She has never done playback singing in films but has been a singer and has done stage shows in many languages from 1947 to 1975.

Pretending that there can be passion
That has more life in it than death,”
