Nikki and her sister Kanchan became part of the same family after marrying into it in December 2016. Nikki was married to Vipin, while Kanchan tied the knot with his brother, Rohit. According to their family, Nikki endured continuous harassment for dowry after her marriage, despite already having given her in-laws substantial gifts, including a Scorpio SUV, a Royal Enfield motorcycle, gold, and cash. The demands didn’t stop there; her in-laws allegedly pressured her for an additional Rs 36 lakh.

The sisters also ran a beauty parlour together, which they actively promoted on Instagram and YouTube. One of their channels has since gained over 58,000 followers. It was on this Instagram account that the now-heartbreaking video of Nikki in the Mercedes video was shared.
