Early life

Film and television career
Nivedita initially became known when she was shortlisted as one of three candidates in the running to play the role of Anandi in Colors' television show Balika Vadhu.[2][3] She was later cast in a lead role in Bhagonwali-Baante Apni Taqdeer as Runjhun Mishra (later Runjhun Shukla) a girl who brought good luck to everyone she met simply through her presence or touch but found her own life filled with misfortune.[4] Bhagonwali portrayed how Runjhun was mistreated by her own family members to take advantage of her luck and how she rose above her ordeal through her hard work and positive outlook on life. The show aired on Zee TV from 2010-2012.[5] While a part of Bhagonwali, Nivedita made guest appearances on several of the shows and events which aired on Zee TV.

At the end of 2012, she appeared on two different episodes of the weekly television show Lakhon Mein Ek on STAR Plus. Each episode of the show reflects a different story based on real life events. In the first appearance, she was cast opposite Ravi Dubey portraying the character of Afreen.[11][12] The episode focused on the issue of dowry and told the real-life story of Sohail and Afreen's fight against this practice. Next, she acted alongside Ankit Bathla and Rita Bhaduri in an episode that told the story of Preeti and Sunil and their struggle to get married.[13][14] She also appeared in an episode of Yeh Hai Aashiqui alongside Raj Singh Arora and Pallavi Gupta.[15] In 2014, she was cast in the lead role of Sahara One's Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai as Devyani and more recently appears as Parvati in Neeli Chatri Waale.[16]
