Pallavi Sharda (born 5 March 1988)[1][2][3] is an Australian-Indian actress and dancer (of Indian ancestry), trained in Bharatha Natyam.[4]

Early life

Sharda was born on 5 March 1988 in Perth, Australia [1][2][3] to Dr. Hema Sharda (Director of South Asian Relations at the University of Western Australia), and Dr. Nalin Kant Sharda (Professor of Computer Science at Victoria University).[5][6][7] Her parents are from Delhi, her father is Punjabi.[8] Both her parents are IIT alumni and have PhDs in science and engineering.[9] They migrated to Australia in the 1980s before she was born.[10] Sharda came to Melbourne as a toddler where she grew up in the outer north-western suburbs.[11] She went to school at Lowther Hall in Essendon[11] and commenced her LLB and BA (Media & Communications) & Diploma in Modern Languages (French) at the University of Melbourne, at the age of 16 and graduated with honours.[12] Sharda shifted base from Melbourne to Mumbai in 2010.[13]

Career

Sharda started her Bollywood career by playing a cameo in Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan (2010). In March 2010 Sharda was crowned "Miss India Australia" in Sydney.[14][15][16]

She next starred in the comedic-drama film, Dus Tola (2010), in which she played the role of Geeta, a village dance teacher. Pallavi's performance was identified as the best element of the film by The Times of India.[17] Sharda's second release, an Indo-American film called Walkaway was released on 29 October 2010 across USA. Sharda's next Bollywood release, Love Breakups Zindagi released on 7 October 2011.

In 2011 and 2012 Sharda was the lead actress of the theatrical musical, Taj Express directed by Shruti Merchant and choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant.[18]

Sharda made her Australian film debut with comedy film Save Your Legs, which released on 28 February 2013.[19] She then appeared in Abhinav Kashyap's Bollywood film Besharam.[20] in which she portrayed a woman whose car is stolen by a petty thief. Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV stated that she "does a fairly good job of looking blissfully beatific",[21] however the film was not a box-office success.

Pallavi's next Bollywood venture, Hawaizaada, was released worldwide on 30 January 2015. Directed by Vibhu Puri and co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Mithun Chakraborty, the film is inspired by the true events of Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, who is believed to have flown an unmanned aircraft in 1895 Bombay.
