No. Picking your nose has no mechanical impact to the shape of your nose. Though you could potentially cut the inside of your nose while picking.

Picking your nose will not make it any larger than it is right now. Picking your nose is a nasty habit, and you can cause bleeding to occur and scabbing while doing it. This will draw additional attention to your nose, thus making it seem like is it bigger as a point of focus.

Picking one's nose can produce scratches that can lead to infections and possibly perforations in the nasal cartilage. Constant nose picking could perhaps stretch the nares making it seem as if one's nose is larger. It can produce frequent nose bleeds. There can be treatment for nose picking obscessions.

i think picking nose does not affect its shape instantaneously but after a certain amount of picking it may appear bulkier.....

No picking your nose does not make it bigger, this is a simple urban myth. There is nothing that you are doing by picking your nose to make it bigger. However, it is nasty and you can tear up the insides and make your nose bleed by picking it, so i recommend not.
