Avantika, a multi-talented artist, is driven by a passion for storytelling and creative expression. At a remarkably young age, she has achieved the distinction of being the youngest Indian-American to both star and executive produce a series, 'Crown of Wishes', which she optioned and sold to Disney+ as its inaugural Indian Hindu Mythology-based series.
This young adult fantasy series, centered around Princess Gauri, features Avantika in a leading role and marks a significant milestone in her career. She also takes on the role of Karen Smith in 'Mean Girls - the Musical', a remake of the iconic 2004 movie.
Avantika has recently wrapped up work on a Bollywood series for Amazon Prime, India's first YA High School Fiction story featuring an all-female cast, directed by Sudanshu Saria and Nitya Mehra. This series aligns with her goal of promoting female empowerment through her work.
As the breakout star of Disney's original Emmy-nominated movie 'Spin', which is now streaming on Disney+, Avantika has earned a spot on Variety's 2021 Power of Young Hollywood "Up Next" list. Her performance in 'Spin' received widespread acclaim and a significant response from the Indian diaspora.
Avantika has also appeared as a recurring star on Disney+'s groundbreaking series 'Diary of a Future President', produced by Gina Rodriguez, and has lent her voice to the character of 'Kamala' on Disney Channel's 'Mira, the Royal Detective'.
Prior to her experiences in Hollywood, Avantika worked in the Indian entertainment industry for three years. As a skilled dancer, she is proficient in ballet, contemporary, and Indian classical dances, including Kuchipudi and Kathak.
Avantika, an actor-dancer-producer based in Los Angeles, is committed to portraying and producing stories that highlight marginalized communities and bring them to mainstream media. She is currently focusing her efforts on raising awareness for causes close to her heart, including helping teens with cancer.
