Hi there and welcome to the forum Yogesh.

If you look at the top of this section there are 2 pinned threads about puppy playbiting which should be of help to you.

Your pup is probably teething, absolutely normal...

Just to reiterate what has been said.
Puppy biting is completely normal.... and in fact is a vital learning process through which they learn bite inhibition.
It is how they would play with their litter mates...
The pinned threads Colin has referred you to explain some ways to manage this - and if you search for play biting or puppy biting you will find lots of other threads in which this has been discussed...  :D

As Uli says, she will also be teething, so make sure she has plenty of things she is allowed to chew...
