Nidhi Tiwari

Nidhi Tiwari was a social media content creator and influencer from Singrauli district in Madhya Pradesh, India, known for short entertainment and dance videos that reached a combined audience of more than 1.6 million people across Facebook and Instagram. She died on 26 September 2026 at the age of 30.

Born and raised in the Vindhya region of Madhya Pradesh, Tiwari built her public profile through regular short-form video content, and she was also active in local pageantry and cultural events. She had won the Miss Pretty India title in 2024, a milestone that fed her ambition to move into modelling and acting. Her Facebook page attracted around 9.28 lakh followers and her Instagram account around 7.12 lakh, and her videos routinely drew large numbers of views and reactions, making her one of the better known digital personalities in the Vindhya region.

On the evening of Saturday, 26 September 2026, Tiwari was reportedly on a phone call at her home in the Bhusa Mod area of Singrauli when the incident that led to her death is said to have taken place. Family members found her and rushed her to NCL Hospital in Singrauli, where doctors declared her dead on arrival. Police in the area, under the jurisdiction of the Morwa police station, opened an inquiry into the circumstances of her death.

Several Indian outlets reported that Tiwari died by suicide, and that she had spoken by phone with an acquaintance identified as Sonu Singh shortly before her death, with her family saying a disagreement occurred during that call. Police have cautioned that no firm conclusions should be drawn about the cause until the investigation, which includes a review of call records and digital activity, is complete.

Hours before her death, Tiwari posted photographs of herself on Facebook with a caption about self-love, a post that has since been widely shared and discussed by followers processing the news. Tributes and messages of condolence have poured in from her online audience, many of whom described shock at the sudden loss of a familiar face from their social media feeds.

Readers should note that this Nidhi Tiwari, the influencer from Singrauli, is a different person from Nidhi Tewari, the Indian Foreign Service officer who serves as a private secretary in the Prime Minister's Office. That Nidhi Tewari is alive and unrelated to this story; the similarity of names has caused some confusion in search results.
