There have been many such stars in the Indian film industry who quickly achieved their dreams and became successful but soon they lost their stardom due to professional or personal reasons. Today, we will talk about a South actress who was born in a Hindu Punjabi family and was brought up in Mumbai. She did her M.A. in Economics from Kishinchand Chellaram College, Mumbai. She was spotted by producer D Ramanaidu while dining at a hotel in Juhu after which he offered her a role in his upcoming film 'Hai' (2002). The actress soon became active in the film world but now she is missing from the silver screen. Her career was completely ruined after she fell in love with a married man.
While on one hand, actresses like Rashmika Mandanna, Nayanthara, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Kajal Aggarwal are ruling the South film industry, there are actresses, as beautiful as them, who lost out on a bright future due to their mistakes. Today, we will be talking about popular South actress Nikita Thukral.
After appearing in 'Hai', Nikita Thukral starred opposite Fahad Fazil in the film 'Kaiyethum Doorath'. The Malayalam film was not a box-office success. She later did additional roles in Tamil and Telugu films like 'Kurumbu' and 'Sambaram'. In 2005, she entered Kannada cinema. Nikita Thukral then returned to star in a Tamil film and featured in Venkat Prabhu's film 'Saroja'. Her appearance in the song "Kodana Kodi" was also appreciated by the fans. Nikita has been a popular face of the South film industry and has also worked in the TV industry.
Nikita Thukral has worked in dozens of films in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada and people also liked her acting. However, her career was ruined due to an affair with a married hero.
Nikita Thukral had an affair with Kannada star Darshan and both of them fell in love while working on screen. But, Darshan was already married and the news of their relationship spread throughout the Kannada industry, due to which there was a lot of uproar. Later, Darshan's wife Vijayalakshmi made many serious allegations against the actress and even registered a case with the police.
Darshan's wife was furious with her husband's affair with Nikita and she accused Darshan of assault and domestic violence. The wife alleged that Darshan even threatened to kill her with a gun. After this, Darshan was arrested by the police and Nikita Thukral was also punished.
After so much uproar in the industry, the Kannada Film Producers Association banned Nikita for three years. The association cited the discord in the family life of her co-star as the reason for banning the actress, for which she received this punishment. Darshan's wife had appealed to the Kannada Film Producers Association for help against her husband's co-star Nikita. Therefore, action was taken against her.
Although this ban was later lifted, by then, Nikita Thukral had become a controversial face in the eyes of directors. It was because of this that she did not get any work and completely disappeared from the screen.
Later, the actress married businessman Gagandeep Singh Mago in 2017 and retired from the film world. Now, Nikita is the mother of a daughter and is happy with her family.
