She did her study on Civil Engineering at Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE), Mysore, as an alumnus of St. Joseph’s Central, Mysore. As her modeling career took off, she quit in the 2nd year and this eventually led her to pursue a career in acting. Currently, after getting offers from Bollywood, she lives in Mumbai.

Career

She’ll be making a special appearance at the School Days of Poornima Mohan. Oh My God, which starred Akshay Kumar, was Nidhi’s first Bollywood outing. In the movie, she had a cameo.

As her debut film, Abhimaan (2009), did not perform well at the box-office, her journey into the Kannada film industry started on a disappointing note. When her debut Bollywood film, Ajab Gazabb Love (2012), also met the same fate in cinema halls, Nidhi had a “déjà vu” moment.
