NEHA DEVI SINGH

I am an actor originally from Mumbai, India and now based in Vancouver, Canada.

TLDR: I am girl next door meets swashbuckling ghostbuster hiding behind a bumbling cutie alter ego turned very funny lady with some serious life experience.

This is how:

My most recent actor win is playing Najma Ladha in Touchstone Theatre's hugely successful world premiere in Vancouver of The Wrong Bashir, a riotous comedy by Zahida Rahemtulla. Featuring an all south asian cast centered around the Ismaili community in Canada, the play closed a sold out run to fantastic reviews.

In India I was the lead in two shows, both on Star Plus - A leading Indian GEC for Star India networks - now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company India:
The first was a children's thriller "sssshhhh koi hai...trikaal" character: BIJLI/SAMEERA. It was an action-oriented role with a dual identity. I was the first female action hero on Indian television. For this role I was nominated for ‘Favorite action hero’ for the Star Parivaar awards.

The second was as the lead in an afternoon daily "Saarrthi”, character: BHUMIKA. For this role I was nominated for and won ‘Favorite Devraani’ for the Star Parivaar awards.
I was also the guest star on episodes of various popular shows on both Star Plus ( Star Networks) and Sony TV( Sony Entertainment Television).
Among those, some shows of note are C.I.D and Aahat ( both on Sony TV) and my portrayal of the unwavering mother of a child with disabilities for the Ganapati special of TV series ‘Mann Mein Hai Vishwass’ was the highest rated episode aired of the religious anthology series - also on Sony Entertainment Television – a part of the Sony Pictures Networks India.

TV Commercials done: Life buoy gold, Birla gold cement, Castrol, SBI personal loans (unaired).
Where ever possible, I have tried to be involved with theatre, workshops , classes and any form of creative expression.

Apart from acting, I have always been a writer. All through my years in university in Mumbai I was a weekly columnist for 'Channel Y' for the Mumbai Newsline- The Indian Express.
I have also been a columnist for the weekend edition of the Financial Express in India.

I moved behind the camera for a number of years. It began with working as the Project Supervisor for a Hindi feature film, titled Tere Mere Phere. I was involved with the project from its inception i.e. scripting, pre-production, casting, filming to post production and final print and release.

I followed this up with working as a Creative Director with Neela Telefims (the makers of Taarak Mehta ka ooltah chashmah - A top billing daily comedy on SONY SAB a GEC for Sony Pictures Networks India) : where I was responsible for new content development and show packaging .

I aim to have as wide a reach as possible in today's global market scenario and am excited to find out where my journey as an actor will take me next.

I am currently looking for representation in Vancouver, Canada.
