For the uninitiated, she was born on October 25, 1965, but not much is known about her family background.
However, as per some reports, Navneet Nishan reportedly completed her schooling in Chandigarh. Right from an early age, she had a strong inclination towards acting and wanted to be an actress. As a result, she took admission in Chandigarh's Punjab University, where she became a member of the Department of Indian Theatre. During her time at the theatre department, she learnt a lot of things that played a crucial part in her selection at the National School of Drama.
After completing her acting course at the National School of Drama, Navneet Nishan struggled to get a role in Bollywood.

Navneet Nishan played the character of 'Maya' in Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, and during a sequence in the film, she was supposed to kiss Aamir Khan on the cheeks. In an old interview with a publication, Navneet shared that she kissed Aamir on the cheeks in a scene in the film which was shot after their engagement scene. However, the scene was deleted from the film, but the mark of lipstick remained on Aamir's cheeks, so he decided to follow the continuity.
Aamir Khan told his co-star, Navneet Nishan to kiss him on the cheeks before every scene of that particular sequence in order to keep the continuity flowing. Recalling the incident, Navneet admitted that she was also comfortable kissing Aamir on the cheeks.
