Sheetal that and more: Looking for women in Comedy in the Muslim World
"In the summer of 2004, American Comedy Actor and Film Director, Albert Brooks, steeped out of the Imperial Hotel in New Delhi braving the summer heat," writes Bollywood Reel's Bhuvan Lall. "An hour later, he announced he had applied for permission to shoot a Hollywood comedy in India." But Bhuvan is more interested in Sheetal Seth.
"Hollywood actress of Indian origin Sheetal Sheth plays Maya, Albert Brooks’ chirpy assistant in the film. She is today one of the most popular actresses among the young NRI directors in USA. Her work in NRI films like American Chai, ABCD and Wings of Hope have resulted in several awards." Bhuvan notes, "Sheetal was born the middle child, and grew up on the East Coast playing sports and dancing... She has also been offered leading roles in Indian films but is still looking for a meaningful part." Variety, Bhuvan writes, "described Sheetal as an eye catching pretty person who beams like a ray of sunshine."
