She aspired to fight for justice and went on to study LLB and LLM. She has been practicing as a civil and criminal lawyer.

Recalling her childhood, Bina says that she was a naughty child. Her parents gave her every freedom and never stopped her from pursuing what she wanted. She wanted to become an IAS officer but could not clear the exam.
