Early life and background
Nikhlesh Rathore was born on 4 September and hails from Bhilwara in Rajasthan. He grew up with two sisters and was encouraged by his parents to read classical and spiritual works from a young age.

Career
Rathore relocated to Mumbai in 2015 and initially worked as a fitness trainer. Around the same time he joined the A.B.S.S. Theatre Group and took part in stage productions, building practical experience that would support his transition to television acting.

In 2019 he appeared in the StarPlus series Krishna Chali London and also played Dev in the Colours series Bepanah Pyaar.

Rathore continued to take varied television work, including an eight-episode role as Babloo in Wagle Ki Duniya in 2021. In January 2024 he gained wider recognition for his portrayal of Bharata, the younger half-brother of Lord Rama, in the TV series Srimad Ramayana. Across these parts he has established a presence in both contemporary dramas and mythological storytelling.

Off screen he maintains a regular gym routine and has worked as a fitness model in addition to his acting and theatre work. Rathore enjoys painting, reading and writing; his reading focuses on spirituality and mythology, with the Bhagavad Gita and the Ramcharitmanas among the works he has cited as favorites. He has described appreciation for samvaad-style poetry and dialogue that blends traditional wisdom with contemporary perspectives.
