Magar was one of the four cabin crew members that died in the plane crash, reported Insider.
According to India Today, Magar’s father, Mohan Ale Magar, asked his daughter “not to go to work on a special day,” so they could celebrate the Nepalese festival Maghe Sankranti together.
Magar insisted on going to work but promised her family she would return from Pokhara to celebrate the festival with her family.
Since the crash occurred, many videos have been circulating the internet showing the plane moments before it crashed.

One of the passengers onboard, Sonu Jaiswal, went on Facebook live moments before the crash, and documented the harrowing moments as the plane went down, reported The Guardian.
NBC News is reporting that two of the passengers on the flight were American citizens, while another two were permanent residents living in the United States.
During a news briefing on Wednesday, State Department spokesman Ned Price said, “we’re deeply saddened to hear the tragic Yeti airlines craft over the weekend, which killed 72 people, including two U.S. citizens and two lawful permanent residents.”
"Our thoughts are with the families of those on board. The United States stands ready to support Nepal in any way we can.”
Sunday's plane crash was the deadliest one in Nepal since 1992, when a Pakistan International Airlines plane crashed while attempting to land in Kathmandu and killed all 167 people onboard.
