Interesting Facts She studied Journalism at Manipal University, Karnataka. In an interview she said, she never wished to become an actress. Since Journalism was “not what it used to be,” she decided to become a filmmaker, as she could express her ideas through movies. Then she enrolled for a course in cinematography at the FTII (Film and Television Institute of India), Pune. At the time of the education entrance exam, she met B V Nandini Reddy, who convinced her to take up acting. Later, Nandini Reddy turned as director and signed Nithya as a female lead in her first movie.
