Indian-born, SA-raised actress Ayushi Chhabra on her new book
Ayushi was born in India but spent her childhood in Nigeria and moved to South Africa with her family at the age of 13.
After growing up near the East Rand of Johannesburg, she moved to LA, and the rest, is history!
The year 2020 saw Ayushi making her American television debut, as the alien character “PEL” on CBS’s TV series – ‘STAR TREK : PICARD’, alongside Sir Patrick Stewart and Allison Pill. Chhabra's role in the first season of the show was a major departure from previous work and required her to go through hours of intense hair and make-up to transform her into the character of a pregnant Romulan (alien).
In 2021, Ayushi will be working on a book detailing all her experiences living and working in Hollywood – the good, the bad, the unbelievable! She will also be promoting her film, ‘919’, along with taking her acting career to the next level by exploring opportunities internationally, in Africa, India, and the UK, in addition to the United States.
I spoke to her about the book, life in LA, and more! Listen here:
