Veenu Sandhu

Age: 42 Ethnicity: Canadian with Punjabi Sikh roots Occupation and/or Company: Actor Years of experience: 16 Personal & professional philosophy: Our modern world constantly draws us out of our bodies and into our head. Most of us are disconnected from a lot of sensations and emotions. Through storytelling I love reminding people, including myself, that our bodies are just as wise as our brains. Upcoming performances/project: Himmat by Gavin Kaur Cheema What is the highlight of your work? Bachani, my character in Himmat, embodies a different kind of strength than her daughter Ajit, and husband Banth. She reminds her family what's important, and as she gets older, becomes a steadying force for the family dynamic. Future goals: I will be submitting a short film script to the Mighty Asian Moviemaking Marathon this summer, and hope to direct it if it's selected. Also, one day I hope to be a recurring character on a Star Trek franchise.
