I was born in India and moved to London to follow my dreams of studying theatre and film.

As an actor I've had the privilege of working and learning with directors such as Mike Leigh, David Yates and Dexter Fletcher/Bryan Singer in the Oscar-winning film ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.

Growing up both in India and London has deeply impacted my journey as a writer. It has given me the ability to be an observer and broadened my own idea of who I am in the world and what I have to offer.

Currently developing my second feature script 'Songs Within Me' with the BFI. A story of two offbeat Indian sisters who journey to London to make their mark on the Capital’s music scene.

The script won BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum and selected for Tribeca All Access.

Other credits:

10 episodes on the 'I'm..' mini series, for the BBC's ‘The Dumping Ground' (2021) and 'The Audition' which opened Mira Nair's Film 'Hysterical Blindness' at Bite the Mango Film Festival UK.

First feature 'Little Box of Sweets' was shot on SI6 with a mix of cast and crew from India and the UK. Won the Grand Jury Award for Emerging Talent and Best Music at the South Asian Int. Film Festival, New York.

'A promising first feature... appealing echoes of Jean Renoir's 'The River'...' Tom Dawson Channel 4 ' A simple, saccharine-free love letter to a fast-disappearing India... an impressive directorial debut...' Derek Elley, Variety.

'Star of India' nomination Stuttgart Film Festival. Two weeks run at the London ICA. Film of the Week - Evening Standard.
