“With so much success coming so quickly, envy wasn’t far behind. Whispers began to circulate—ugly, baseless rumors that she must have used her beauty to secure big projects. Some claimed she must have done something immoral to catch the attention of Mumbai’s top agencies. What stung most was hearing such things from her own studio colleagues—people who once admired her, who had said they wanted to be like her. So, first thing first, she threw out those people from our circle, from her studio. Nia never let the words take root. They reached her ears, but never her mind. She stayed focused, worked harder, and kept her name clean. Soon, she was counted among a good circle of respected, talented choreographers who valued her dedication, work and decency.” — Shweta Muduli
