It is often said that with high courage, one can overcome any obstacle on the path to their goals. However, the reality is that challenges can come from within ourselves as well. Behind every successful person, you’ll often find the story of their relentless hard work. Today, we highlight the journey of one such successful actress, Nimrat Kaur, who has not only made her mark in Bollywood but has also showcased her talent in Hollywood.
Nimrat Kaur is celebrating her 42nd birthday today, born on March 13, 1982, in Pilani, Rajasthan. Her life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs. There were times when she couldn’t even afford a cab fare and had to rely on Mumbai’s local trains and buses during her days of struggle. She even took photos of her portfolio to the studios.
Coming from a Punjabi family in Rajasthan, Nimrat’s father, Major Bhupinder Singh, served in the Indian Army and was martyred in an encounter with Kashmiri terrorists. After this tragedy, her family moved to Noida, where Nimrat attended a public school in Delhi. She later pursued B.Com from Delhi University before venturing to Mumbai to chase her dreams in the film industry. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Nimrat shared the hardships of her struggling days, recalling how she distributed her portfolio to around 100 agencies, often travelling by bus and train due to financial constraints.
Money was scarce, even for basic expenses like cab fares. Nimrat mentioned the challenge of communicating with her family due to the high costs of mobile calls, often spending hours at a PCO booth, tearfully speaking to her mother.
Professionally, Nimrat Kaur’s journey began with appearances in music videos by Kumar Sanu and Shreya Ghoshal in 2004. She gradually transitioned to advertisements before landing a small role in the film ‘One Night with the King’ in 2006. Her breakthrough came with the film ‘Peddlers’ in 2012, directed by Anurag Kashyap. She gained widespread recognition with the ‘Dairy Milk Silk’ advertisement in 2013.
Throughout her career, Nimrat has starred in various films and series, including Airlift, Dasvi, The Test Case, and Atrangi Re, establishing herself as a versatile actress in both films and OTT platforms.
