Monisa was born in Rajbagh, Srinagar and dreams to become an IAS officer.

While speaking to ANI, she said, "I was very energetic from childhood and was also interested in driving. Due to this from a very young age, I learned how to drive a car, with the help of my father and uncle."

"My parents supported me in every way and with their support, I am the first teenage professional off-road car racer of Kashmir," Monisa stated.

She added, "Apart from the preparation for Indian administrative service (IAS) exams I want to do something different in off-road car racing so that's why I started participating in off-road car racing events that are very challenging for a teenage girl like me."

"I now compete with senior male participants in various races," Monisa added.
