Veena Sood comes from a culture where girls are told to keep quiet. But Veena has a big voice, and she chooses to use it to teach, to perform, and to inspire, both as an improviser and as an in-demand actress. Over the course of her illustrious career, Veena has played comedic and dramatic roles in feature films like The Accused, Anne Wheeler’s Loyalties, and Welcome to Marwen, television shows like Ghost Wars, The Indian Detective, and Corner Gas Animated, and web series like Yoga Town.
