Her most well-known songs include Xaratkalor Rati, Jetuka Bolere, and Kotha Aru Xur.

In 2022, Sudakshina Sarma underwent successful leg surgery at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH). She may be stated as having fallen in the toilet, severely hurting one leg, and being taken to the hospital on September 29. The doctors first said Sudakshina would heal without surgery, but eventually opted to carry it out.

The famous singer is kept under observation at the ICU for two days after the successful surgery.

In May 2023, the son of Sudakshina Sarma and a veteran singer from Assam, Rishiraj Sarma, passed away while receiving treatment at the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH).
