The creation of Pahuja's most critically acclaimed film would not have been successful if not for the fundraiser support it received through an online Kickstarter fund. The World Before Her was a film that sparked the interests of a few international broadcasters in Toronto; however, it seemed impossible to create due to financial restrictions. After the 2012 Dehli gang rape case happened, Nisha was determined to screen her film across India to help undervalued women. In order to pursue her dream, Nisha created a Kickstarter with the goal of reaching $50,000 in order to screen the film across India and to various social workers to spark political change The initial kickstarter has surpassed its original goal by reaching $57,000.

Nisha's third film The World Before Her received the most attention as it won: "Best Canadian Feature Documentary" (2012) at the Edmonton Film Festival, "Best Documentary" (2012) at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival "Best Foreign Film" (2012) Traverse City Film Festival "Best International Document" (2013) Byron Bay International Film Festival

Pahuja moved from her homeland of India to Toronto, Canada, but she still maintains close ties with India and visits regularly.
