She was most recently seen in the HBO documentary East Of Main Street: Taking The Lead, USA’s Donny! and the film Grin (which she also produced) that has been winning awards in the festival circuit including Best Actress.

A true desi at heart, Sheetal loves Bollywood and Hollywood and admires people who are kind towards strangers especially when no one is watching. She loves dancing and singing in the rain and gets excited when great ideas get executed.

Due in part to her unique ability to appeal to a broad audience, Sheetal has represented such brands as Reebok and CHI hair care. Always an outspoken advocate for women and children, Sheetal grew up very active within the community.

Sheetal will be publishing her first children’s book, Always Anjali, in May. It is a story of a little girl, Anjali, who can’t find a license plate corresponding to her name and leaves no stone unturned to get one but ends up learning on how to celebrate herself. In simpler words, it is a timeless classic which teaches about appreciating what makes us special and honoring our differences.
