Former Miss Nepal Nikita Chandak Makes Her Netflix Debut in Glory on May 1, And It's Streaming Now

From winning Miss Nepal in 2017 to landing on the world’s biggest streaming platform in 2083, Nikita Chandak’s journey has been anything but ordinary.

Former Miss Nepal 2017 Nikita Chandak has made herNetflixdebut in the thriller web series Glory, which began streaming on May 1. For Nepali audiences, this is a moment worth paying attention to. A Nepali woman, born and raised in Nepal, now appearing on a platform that reaches over 300 million subscribers worldwide. That is not a small thing.

Produced by Atomic Films and directed by Karan Anshuman, Glory revolves around themes of revenge andsuspense. The series has already begun generating buzz since its Friday premiere, with viewers and critics beginning to weigh in on what looks to be a tightly woundthrillerwith a strong ensemble cast.

Nikita plays Surveen, the wife of Raghubir Singh and mother to Dev, Ravi, and Gudiya. It is a role that places her at the center of the show’s family dynamics, and one that gave her the opportunity to share screen space with two of Hindi cinema’s most respected veteran actors, Suvinder Vicky and Ashutosh Rana. For any actor, sharing a frame with names of that caliber is a career moment. Nikita herself described it as getting to be “a tiny little part” of Glory, a characteristically humble way of describing what is, by any measure, a significant milestone.

Nikita’s path to this moment has been one of steady, deliberate progression. After winning Miss Nepal in 2017 and representing the country atMiss Worldthat same year, she transitioned into acting, making her film debut in Sanglo. In the years since, she has been based in Mumbai, actively working in digital content, advertisements, and film projects, and was recently seen in a commercial alongside Rajkummar Rao. Each step has been building toward something bigger, and Glory on Netflix is that something.

Most recently, her film Rajagunj, directed by Deepak Rauniyar, had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, further cementing her status as one of the most internationally active Nepali actresses working today. Venice and Netflix in the same career chapter is a combination that very few actors from anywhere in the world can claim, let alone from Nepal.

Glory is streaming now on Netflix. It is well worth adding to your watchlist, if only to see a Nepali woman holding her own on one of the most competitive stages in global entertainment.
