Nisha was just 10 years old when her father, an electrician, died of electrocution 7 years ago. Mother Kanta has to raise Nisha and her two younger brothers. Mother somehow started selling milk by arranging a buffalo. Nisha was allowed to play kabaddi in Chulakana, village of Sonepat. The mother was barely selling milk and running her home and playing kabaddi in the village became a career for Nisha. At the age of just 17, this daughter not only made a place in the Indian team but also gave a precious gift to her mother by winning the gold medal in the South Asian Games (SAIG) ended on Tuesday in Nepal.

Before the SAIG medalists met Sports Minister Kiran Rijiju, Nisha said that the village coach Radhe had brought her to coach Kamla Solanki at Sai Center in Bawana. He did not know that she would be in the Indian team at such a young age. This was her first overseas tour. Nisha does not forget her mother's sacrifice. After the father's death, she raised her and her younger brothers after a lot of struggle. Now after winning the gold medal, it seems that she will also be able to do something for her mother.
