Meet our new friend, Amrita 

My name is Amrita Roy, I live in Bangalore currently. I was born in a small town near Darjeeling. 

Currently, I'm managing 3 careers as a senior project manager in corporate, actor and director in films. 

I had always been a topper so did the usual things, science major, then engineering and landed a corporate job in my first ever interview. But the performer in me stayed alive. 

My acting and creativity come from a lot of places, people, and inspirations, but most importantly from the life I've lived.

I'm performing on stage since the age of 3. I went to a dance school before going to school.

I have seen friends turn best friends and then strangers, I've been at the bottom but bounced back more than once. I've let go of people and things I thought I couldn't live without.

 I have lived and slept and woke up the next day on film sets. 
Been reality show contestant.
Auditioned back to back across the city while in excruciating pain.
 I've seen superstars on, after, and in front of the camera, their process, them performing and magic being created. 

I've casted from kids to senior citizens, gone location hunting, played with children on sets to led a large team of actors, models, cinematographers to execute a film.

 As a corporate boss, I have a large group of people from Europe reporting to a brown woman, sitting in India. I get flown down frequently to meet them 4 times a year.  

 I've given up on permanent residence in abroad to pursue a career creatively, against a lot of advice rejecting a safe and comfortable lifestyle. 

I've lived in 3 continents, made friends around the world, and traveled far and wide.

I've laughed, cried, fought depression, and started my own depression awareness initiative ImThere in 2018. 

Received India excellence award 2019 for social service as Young inspiring Indian for the same

also awarded in Corporate Diva in 2018. 

I've played many roles, in different careers and places, and trying to live life on my own terms ( still single) in this world which constantly tries to fit you into boxes
