She was the daughter of Lambardar Hari Singh Warraich, a Jat Sikh of the village of Ladhewala Waraich, in Gujranwala district of the Punjab. In 1822 she was married to Prince Sher Singh, the elder of the twins of Maharani Mehtab Kaur and Maharaja Ranjit Singh, founder of the Sikh Empire.[1]

In 1831, she gave birth to Partap Singh.[2] Installed as heir apparent with the title of Tikka Sahib Yuvraj Bahadur (Crown Prince) at Lahore Fort, 27 January 1841.
