She modeled initially in Mumbai, and when actor Madhavan came there for a Pepsi commercial shoot, she met with him, showed him her photographs, he arranged an audition for her in Chennai, and she was signed for a Tamil movie titled 'Jay Jay' during the year 2003. She then also appeared in a Telugu movie 'Madhyanam Hatya' during 2004. In both the Tamil and Telugu movies she had a screen name of Amoha. She has also modeled with Indian Cricketer Kapil Dev.

Hot facts in Biography
# Some reports claim that Ram Gopal Varma is very possessive about this hot actress.# The actress was ousted from Aditya Datt’s movie Good Luck.
# There are many rumours linking Ram Gopal Varma and Nisha Kothari but both of them are denying the facts.
# It is said that the actress is replacing Urmila Matondkar in Ram Gopal Varma’s group.
Nisha Kothari quotes
# “I have a beautiful body and can carry any outfit with grace. If I reveal or do intimate scenes that’s only because I am convinced the role needs it. The director has to convince me that the scene is required and I know that I look sexy and not vulgar donning a short skirt or hot pants.”
# “I really don’t know how to react to such stupid and baseless stories. I respect Ram Gopal Varma as a director and I am grateful for his belief in me. Beyond that there is nothing between us.”
# “There was a time when I would dream of working with these stars and today I am sharing the screen space with them. It is like a dream come true. The best part is that these senior actors make the newcomer feel so comfortable on the sets that you feel you have been working for ages with them.” [Speaking about an opportunity to work with Sushmita Sen, Ajay Devgan and Emraan Hashmi]
# “While shooting for RGVKA, Ram Gopal Varma suddenly asked me to puff beedi Rajnikanth style. Though I had practised the style quite a few times, I panicked and looked at Ajay Devgan. He realised that I was scared and quietly winked at me and smiled, which meant ‘just do it’. The shot I gave then was perfect.”
# “When I don’t have any work I either play video games, work out or catch up with my sleep. I don’t party at all. I am a traditional person and like to maintain a low profile. I have a long way to go and I am concentrating only on my work.”
# “You just have to put on the music and I can break into a jig. I love to dance and sometimes when I am feeling low, I put on soft music and dance,”
