L’Oréal Paris just announced it’s newest global ambassador and she is one phenomenal woman!
Nidhi Sunil is a former environmental lawyer turned Bollywood actress and model. She’s been featured in publications all over the world from Elle India to Italian Vogue, GQ and Condé Nast Traveller.
And she’s all about empowering and supporting women:
“I work with an organisation called Invisible Girl Project that helps monitor pregnancies in the South of India. I think I’m really just fighting for women to have an equal chance,” she says in a video posted by the beauty company.
As for her new gig? She’s pretty excited about that:

“I’m so happy to joining the L’Oreal Paris Family – to speak out for the self-worth we must all believe in to succeed, especially when others try to tell us differently. To me, beauty lies in the full power of your own voice and your belonging in the world. All of our stories are worth hearing. Our worth is our birthright.”

In an interview with Elle Canada released today, Nidhi says she wasn’t expecting to be named the new global ambassador:
“L’Oreal’s other Indian ambassadors are all A-list mainstream Bollywood actresses,” she says referring to fellow phenomenal women Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Deepika Padukone.
“I don’t think they’ve had an Indian ambassador who’s a model and who also has darker skin until myself. Frankly, I’m an opportunist so I think it’s amazing to have a larger platform for all the causes that I speak for.”
