If you've seen Polo, Pickle King or Mrs Krishnan's Party, you'll have seen today's Bookmarks guest in her element.
Kalyani Nagarajan is one of the rising stars of Kiwi acting talent - she's toured with The Gruffalo stage show, the Auckland Arts Festival hit Tea, and she appeared in the third season of televisions' The Brokenwood Mysteries.
She's one of the most in-demand, exciting South Asian-Kiwi acting talents in New Zealand. Just weeks after graduating from Toi Whakaari: NZ Drama School in 2015, iconic director Colin McColl cast her in Auckland Theatre Company's Polo, and she returned to ATC to perform in Ahi Karunaharan's adaptation of A Fine Balance this year.
Kalyani Nagarajan is in to talk about the hustle of building an acting career.
Mrs Krishanan's Party is playing at the Q Theatre until 13 August.
