Social media is abuzz with speculation about an alleged romance between the two, fueling talks of tension in Abhishek's marriage to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. While both Nimrat and Abhishek have remained silent on the matter, the rumours continue to gain traction. Here's a closer look at who Nimrat Kaur is and her journey in the entertainment industry.
Nimrat Kaur: A rising star amidst rumours and success
The entertainment industry is notoriously competitive, with fame often proving fleeting—especially for actresses. However, Nimrat Kaur has defied the odds, carving out a successful niche with her impressive performances and enduring resilience. Born in Pilani, Rajasthan, to an Army officer, Nimrat’s journey to stardom has been one of perseverance and self-made success. After completing her education in New Delhi, she moved to Mumbai to pursue a career in showbiz, starting as a print model.
Nimrat's initial steps into acting came through music videos such as 'Tera Mera Pyar' by Kumar Sanu and 'Yeh Kya Hua' by Shreya Ghoshal. Her Bollywood debut came in 2012 with Vasan Bala’s 'Peddlers', but it was a Dairy Milk commercial that catapulted her to overnight fame. From there, her career took off, with standout performances in films like 'Lunchbox' (2013), 'Airlift' (2016), 'Dasvi' (2022), and 'Sajini Shinde Ka Viral Video' (2023). Alongside her film career, Nimrat has also explored roles in short films, TV shows, and web series.
However, Nimrat’s personal life has also made headlines, with her name linked to several high-profile celebrities. In 2018, reports surfaced about a rumoured relationship with former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri, though both parties denied the speculation. Rumours also linked her to her 'Airlift' co-star Akshay Kumar, and more recently, to Abhishek Bachchan, her co-star from 'Dasvi'. The latest buzz suggests she might be the cause of tension between Abhishek and his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, though neither Nimrat nor Abhishek has addressed the rumours.
On the professional front, Nimrat Kaur continues to stay busy, with several projects in the pipeline. She is also set to appear in a film with Amitabh Bachchan, for whom she has expressed deep admiration, often posting tributes to him on social media.
