Why Asha From Wedding Season Looks So Familiar

Just because American audiences are only now becoming acquainted with the charismatic, multi-talented Pallavi Sharda, who is a trained dancer and a lawyer incidentally, doesn't mean she is new to performing on a large scale, with her website noting, "She is the first Indian origin actress leading actress on the Aussie big and small screens." Indeed, the Australian-born Indian star has been appearing on TV and movie screens internationally for over a decade (via TV Over Mind).

Before taking on the role of Asha in "Wedding Season," the new Netflix staple long dreamed of starring in Bollywood, and according to her site, Sharda made it happen. She went on to win roles on a variety of Australian television shows, and even worked with fellow Aussie Rebel Wilson, before crossing over and achieving success in the United States.

You can stream "Wedding Season" starring Sharda and another familiar face, Suraj Sharma, starting August 4 on Netflix.
