Biography/Wiki
Nandini Rai was born as Neelam Gouhrani on 18 September 1988 (age 29) in Secunderabad, Telangana, India. She is a deadly combination of beauty with brains as she is not only a beauty pageant winner, but has also done MBA from London. Her first encounter with a superstar came up during her school days when late Soundarya came to her school for an event and selected Nandini out of so many girls to play the role of her daughter in a commercial.
She got bitten by the bug of modelling in the final year of her B.Com, after which she started participating in local beauty pageants. Her part-time modelling career took off when she won the title of Miss Andhra Pradesh in 2008, after which she got modelling offers from across the world. Though, she had done modelling for more than 80 national and international brands, she never thought of becoming an actress. But, her mother was a visionary and knew that after her daughter had done so much modelling, the next step had to be acting. So, Nandini’s mother somehow convinced her to give various auditions to get roles in films. Luckily, Nandini developed an interest in acting during her auditions experience and discovered that she is meant to do acting. She has made her presence felt in the South Indian film industry with films like- Login (2012), Goodbye December (2013), Maaya (2014), and Khushi Khushiyagi (2015).

With the guidance of her mother, she later discovered that she is meant to do acting. In such a short span of her acting career, she has worked in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam films.
