INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Nihaar Pandya was born into an upper-middle-class Gujarati family, a foundation that shaped his early life and aspirations. Growing up with a strong sense of community and cultural values, he found himself drawn towards sports from a young age. His athletic prowess extended beyond running, as he showcased his versatility by representing his school, college, and Khar Gymkhana in cricket. This talent led him to achieve significant milestones, including playing for Mumbai’s Under-16 and Under-19 cricket teams. However, the call of the cricket field often lured him away from academics, as he would occasionally choose to bunk classes to indulge his passion for the sport.
Nihaar’s journey took a transformative turn during a trip to Rajasthan for the filming of Salman Khan’s movie ‘Marigold.’ Accompanying his uncle, who worked as a doctor on the film’s crew, Nihaar unexpectedly found himself in a position to act when some cast members succumbed to heatstroke. This serendipitous moment ignited a newfound passion for acting that he could not ignore. Eager to hone his craft, he enrolled in Anupam Kher’s esteemed acting school, ‘Actor Prepares,’ where he dedicated himself to developing his skills in performance. During the challenging yet enriching time of his training, he crossed paths with renowned actress Priyanka Chopra, who recognized his potential and advised him to learn Kathak to address rhythm issues he faced. Following her guidance, he studied under Veeru Krishna and also delved into Hindustani classical music, enriching his artistic capabilities.
Nihaar made his acting debut in the historical biographical film ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi,’ portraying the pivotal role of Baji Rao II. This project was not without its challenges; during a particularly intense action sequence, he accidentally injured his co-star Kangana Ranaut, who required 15 stitches on her forehead following the incident. Such experiences reflected the high stakes and pressures of the film industry, which Nihaar navigated with both determination and resilience.
Outside the limelight, Nihaar maintains a close friendship with Indian tennis icon Sania Mirza, highlighting his connections within the world of sports. He is also known for his compassion, as an avid dog lover who dedicates a portion of his earnings to support an animal welfare NGO. With a commitment to both his craft and philanthropic efforts, Nihaar Pandya continues to carve out a unique space for himself in the entertainment industry, blending his athletic background with his burgeoning acting career. For those interested in delving deeper into his journey, a comprehensive biography is available in a detailed video format.
