After playing 'Bharat Mata' in a school play as a child, Niharika went on to participate in children theatre workshops conducted by 'Sahitya Kala Parishad' (the cultural wing of Govt. of NCT of Delhi), performing in plays in her summer vacations. Her interest in co-curricular activities were encouraged when she was sent to a boarding school as a teenager.

She appeared in several television commercials, print ads, music videos, fashion magazines, hosted a reality series and signed a ten-film contract with Bollywood director Raj Kanwar in 2006 that never saw the light of the day. After a series of unreleased and shelved films, Niharika made her feature film debut with the critically acclaimed 'Miss Lovely' which competed in Un Certain Regard at the 2012 Cannes film Festival. Singh won a nomination for the Most promising newcomer at the 21st Screen Awards for her portrayal of a struggling actress in the film.
