She had to persuade her mother and father to allow her to opt acting as her career. Bina Raiwas a first year student of Arts in the Isabella Theodore College' of Lucknow in the year 1950, when she came to know about an advertisement that organised a talent contest. When she applied for the contest the sponsors of the show approached her.
