37 år, Aarhus C

I’m a Malaysian-born Indian performer and filmmaker based in Aarhus, where I’ve lived for the past 10 years. Because of my background, I’m fully multilingual and speak English, Danish, Malay, and Tamil, along with a little bit of Mandarin. On camera, a lot of my work is rooted in movement; I’m a professional dancer and instructor specializing in couple dances like salsa, bachata, kizomba, and merengue. My screen experience includes fronting social media marketing campaigns for dance festivals, as well as being part of the Gellerup Filmværksted documentary with Aarhus Filmværkstedet back in 2017.


What makes me a bit different to work with is that I also understand the other side of the camera. I hold a diploma in film production (Filmhøjskolen Møn) and have worked behind the scenes in direction, producing, script supervising, costume design, and writing. Having that crew perspective means I really understand set etiquette, how to take direction quickly, and what a director needs from a performer. I’m always looking to connect with open-minded creators on projects that can use a mix of cultural adaptability, physical performance, and solid set discipline.
