Early life and background

Nihita Biswas was born in Kathmandu, Nepal, in 1988.

Her legal background is reflected in her public association with court proceedings involving her husband, and her mother has also been active in representing clients in Nepal's courts.

Nihita became widely known beyond legal circles because of her marriage to Charles Sobhraj. The couple married on 9 October 2008 in Kathmandu prison; at the time Nihita was 21 and Sobhraj was 64.

Her mother, Shakuntala Thapa, represented Sobhraj in proceedings before the Supreme Court of Nepal.

Nihita entered the public eye in other ways as well. In 2011 she took part in the Indian reality television show Bigg Boss (season 5), becoming the first Nepali citizen to appear on the program. She was the first contestant evicted and stayed in the show for about a week. During her time on the program a sensitive question from another contestant about her private life provoked a strong response from her mother outside the show, who described the exchange as inappropriate and inconsistent with Nepali social norms.
