Born in New Delhi India, raised in New York since the age of two by loving
Sikh parents, Nikki Has always been a mischevious rebellious child willing
to take chances. Nikki loves to laugh but raised in a strict Sikh family,
laughing too much was thought of as "Unlady-like". In fact, Nikki would find
humour in every place she would go, especially in elementary school, where
one day her fifth grade teacher asked her to sit outside because she was
laughing too much. Teachers would always change her seat because they thought
she was too happy. Nikki never knew that her love for laughter would one day
land her on stage to perform in front of an audience.
Along with being a clown in class, her love for entertaining audiences began
watching the "I Love Lucy show". She would immitate Lucille Ball at home and
started to immitate any one she came across. When asked by her father, what
do you want to be when you grow up? Nikki said, a comedian. Her dad's eyes
popped out like a bug's bunny cartoon and Nikki knew that she would never utter such words again.
As years past, Nikki pursued other careers, followed her father's footsteps
to be a lawyer. but reading all those legal books, hurt Nikki's brain. Then
she pursued a masters in teaching and became a teacher. Until, her calling
finally came to pursue her dream in comedy and when she went to watch a
comedy show. She said to herself, "I want to do this, this is where I want
to be." Nikki now performs all over the country.
