Personal life

On 10 February 2020 it became public that Nikhil got engaged to Revathi, the grand-niece of Congress leader and realtor M. Krishnappa at Taj West End Bangalore.[5][6] The wedding took place on 17 April 2020[7] near Janapada Loka in Ramanagara.[8] The couple has a son.[9]


Political career


Nikhil ran in the 2019 Indian general election in Karnataka (Lok Sabha) from Mandya district as a Janata Dal (Secular) candidate.[10] Mandya was considered a safe bastion for the Congress-JDS alliance as historically Indian National Congress was the most successful party, followed by Janata Dal (Secular) to contest in the district.[11][12] He lost in the elections to Sumalatha wife of late Ambareesh by a margin of 128,876 votes.[10]
