Biography

Vaishali Thakkar was born in Mumbai. Her father worked in Gujarati theatre, and she first appeared in Gujarati plays.

She subsequently appeared as Damini Ragendra Bharti in the Colors TV series, Uttaran.[3] However, her character was killed midway through the series much to the disappointment of the audience, as the producers claimed her character had not "developed" the way they wanted it to.
