Bio
Nisha was born in India under a Hindu family, but later moved to England with her husband Ajay. Her family originally lived in Pencaster, but when Ajay and the locals of Greendale re-opened the Greendale Light railway, they moved into the village. There, in between looking after her children, she runs at the railway station cafe along with Sara Clifton.
Like many of the other locals in Greendale, Nisha is very keen on organising events. She once organised the Recycling Week jumble sale on the Green. At the railway station in Pencaster, she set up an exhibition of historical relics from the locals of Greendale and at Greendale Station, she organised a party to celebrate Diwali.
She and Sara once swapped jobs with Ted Glen and redecorated Doctor Gilbertson's room, but they soon realised where they worked best.
When the auditions for the television talent show "You're the One" came to Greendale, Ajay and Nisha audition as rap artists, but head judge Simon Cowbell was not impressed.

She is very caring towards children and loves to help organise events themed especially for them.
Job
