Meet Leah khambata
Leah is a Parsi* actress and singer-songwriter who was born and raised in Bombay and now splits her time between India and NYC. She has also lived and worked across LA and London, acting in multiple languages and different accents. She was a double major in Film Studies and Psychology at Wesleyan University, holds an MBA from Cornell, trained in Acting at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London, studied Improv at UCB, and is fully trained in Reiki 2.
Most recently she was in Sony Liv’s “Rocket Boys” alongside Jim Sarbh, Lionsgate Play’s “Feels Like Home” alongside Mihir Ahuja, and Amazon Prime’s “Guilty Minds”. As a songwriter, she’s repped by Sony Music Publishing. Two music videos of her original songs premiered on VH1 India and she won Hungama’s Artist Aloud’s Indian Independent Music Award for Best Lyricist in 2022.
On camera, she’s the poised astute woman who knows way more than she lets on – the forensic expert who cracks the case – the fierce, passionate undercover operative who always fights for what she believes in – the girl next door with an old soul who knows life is not a fairytale. A young Kate Winslet meets Amal Clooney meets Jennifer Lawrence.
You’ll often find her doing jigsaw puzzles, making pottery, crocheting scarves for her nieces or with her head in a book like Hermione Granger.
*Parsi refers to a Zoroastrian Persian Indian community now less than 80,000 worldwide. Fun Fact: Freddie Mercury from Queen was actually Parsi!
