| Nidhi Sunil is that girl from the popular shampoo TV commercials whose hair is ‘long and strong’. But the leggy lass, who is now brand ambassador for the product, has much more to her credit. The 24-year-old, born and brought up in Bengaluru, now lives and works in Mumbai dabbling in modelling, law and animal welfare.
