Fresh off receiving the esteemed "PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR" Scenie Award along with Bryan Cranston, Sonal stars in Hulu's critically acclaimed 'Four Samosas." Dubbed a "scene-stealer" in Netflix's Definition Please, the accomplished actress is an NBC Diversity Showcase alum, a member of the lauded IAMA Theatre Co, and has a DISNEY+ dev deal. Ted Lasso’s Bill Lawrence: “Sonal is a hyper-talented comedic actress. If I could buy stock in her future, I would do it today." A brown Kristin Wiig meets Amy Poehler.
