ESSAYS + PROSE
POV
You say bad choices,
I say good stories.
Most of my work makes sense when you know my mom named me after the Hindu goddess of sex. The rest of it makes sense when you know I just like to make people laugh, help them feel seen, and challenge societal expectations forced onto women.
And if that means I gotta tell tales of my own flaws, failings, and fuck-ups, so be it.
Just don’t judge me, okay? Nobody’s perfect. I mean, I am if you don’t, like, fact check everything I say…
FEATURED WORK
A candid and spicy MEMOIR about my foray into the world of swinging, sex parties and non-monogamy.
Did you know that while I was filming my episodes of The Big Bang Theory and millions of people (including you maybe?) were watching me play Anu on Thursday nights, I was spending my weekends having sex with strangers in front of other strangers?
Yeah, most didn’t! But soon you’ll be able to read all about it. And more.

Logline
Equal parts silly, profound, and daring with the vulnerable heart of a lone lentil on mashed potatoes.
From proms gone wrong and big fat Indian weddings to time travel therapy and mother-daughter battles of all kinds (including canine), my screenwriting work strives to elevate universal stories by showcasing women in unique and unexpected ways. Women who make bold, unconventional choices. Women who create their own definitions of family, romance, and power. Dare I say… women like me.
