Bhubaneswar, Dec 19: Often creating buzz for her dressing sense and Vastu tips, YouTuber Nidhi Chaudhary has built a thriving career as a content creator, but few know she once traded courtrooms after earning a law degree.
Born and raised in Delhi, with family roots in Madhubani, Bihar, Chaudhary pursued a BA and MA in Political Science before completing her LLB at Delhi University. Her father envisioned her in the judiciary, and she briefly practiced law, appearing in courts like Saket Court in the capital. Even then, people noticed her style more than her arguments, often asking where she sourced her sarees or bags. Yet the emotional weight of sensitive cases proved too much, pushing her toward a different path.
Digital Breakthrough
In 2016, a three-month bed rest due to illness sparked her creative journey. Starting with a beauty blog, she soon switched to videos when long nails made typing tricky. Her debut YouTube clip racked up 10,000 views quickly, and she learned the ropes through online searches. It took eight months to earn her first paycheck, but by then, content creation outpaced her legal income. Today, Chaudhary commands over 550,000 YouTube subscribers and more than 780,000 Instagram followers, dishing out advice on spirituality, astrology, Vastu, fashion, and beauty.
'Blouse' Controversy
Her bold fashion choices have long turned heads, but none more than in September 2022. In a video sharing an astrology remedy for Saturn -- advising kindness toward helpers and the underprivileged -- she draped a motif-printed blue saree without a blouse, accessorized with rudraksha beads and silver jewelry. The clip exploded online, with "Nidhi" and "blouse" trending on Twitter. Trolls flooded the platform with mockery, memes, and sarcastic offers to "donate" money for a blouse; some even sent small amounts like Rs 101 via UPI.
Chaudhary, a self-described lawyer, astrologer, and fashion enthusiast, brushed off the backlash, later posting another photo in the same style captioned "Love conquers all." Her story—from advocate to influencer—captures a shift many professionals make in the digital age, where personal expression can ignite nationwide debates.
