Life and career
Niruta Singh was born in Darjeeling, India. She moved to Kathmandu after she started acting in films. Her father was a friend of director Tulsi Ghimire and it was Ghimire who brought her into the film industry with Dakshina (1993). She went on to become the only actress of the Ghimire camp, first since legendary actress Tripti Nadakar, and went on to play such hits as Rahar. Singh went on to star in the 2001 film Darpan Chaya, which was also directed by Tulsi Ghimire. Her performance received huge appreciation and Darpan Chaya went on to become a huge blockbuster of Nepali film industry, grossing NRs 700 million in 2001, the highest collection ever for a Nepali film. Singh is also a singer; she recorded the title track for director Deepak Raymajhi's NTV family drama series Vansha and later sang for a music album titled Deepshikha. As the film industry was changing, she decided to take a long break from acting and relocate to Mumbai because she did not feel that the new filmmakers were capable of the task. She made her come back to the industry through Maha Jodi's 2019 film Dal Bhaat Tarkari. In April of 2023, President of Nepal awarded her one of the country’s highest civilian award, the Prabal Jana Sewa Shree.
