When Ira Dubey asked about how he decided to choose acting as a career, Namit mentioned that he always wanted to be a musician but never achieved anything in college.

Neha on the other hand mentioned that she bagged the role in a Telugu film titled Chirutha in 2007. She suited the role of Sanjana who was a brat.

He had a fight with his wife a year ago. His wife asked him to remove all his records as it took up a lot of space. She asked him to chose her or his records. Nimit added that he chose his records and regretted. So he decided to make a space for himself and placed his records there. On his day-offs, he spends the day in that space listening to music.
