In April 2017, Acharya was traveling to a funeral when her vehicle was attacked by unidentified males who hurled stones at it, breaking the glass of the car, but Acharya and her driver were unharmed.[4]
She was indicted to one year jail term by Morbi Magistrate for buying voters with money along with ex-MLA Kanti Amrutiya during 2009 Loksabha polls.[5]
Not many know that she started her political career from Congress Party by winning 2002 & 2007 Assembly elections on a Congress ticket. But soon in 2007, her husband and 6 corporators switched side to Bharatiya Janata Party, Nimaben followed her husband's path soon. [6]
She was thrown away from Congress party in 2007 due to anti party activities when she voted for Bhairon Singh Shekhawat in presidential elections.[7]
