An avid movie buff, Shruti has worked on over two dozen projects, ranging from Bollywood blockbusters to award-winning festival favorites. She loves bringing diverse characters to life, be it in front of the camera or on the pages of her script.
Shruti Tewari is a film and theatre actor from the San Francisco Bay Area.
She made her big screen debut with the Bollywood blockbuster 'Love Aajkal' in 2009 and has done several films including 'Khazana,' 'Family Party,' 'Bicycle Bride,' and 'Torn.' She has played the lead in several short films that have received many accolades at international film festivals with 'Shaya' winning a platinum Remi award at WorldFest Houston and 'Where We Go From Here' winning the Audience Choice and Best Narrative Short at the Anthem Film Festival in Las Vegas. She is also thrilled to have worked on a virtual reality comedy series – 'Uturn VR'– developed to showcase workplace inequity for women in Silicon Valley. This series won the Golden Goggles award at JIVRFest, New York and played at Raindance in the competition category this year.
She wrote and directed TRAIL PAST PREJUDICE, her experimental short film, as a way to highlight how art serves as a bridge for human connection, when prejudice creates divides. The film premiered at the Delhi International Film Festival and has played at festivals in the US, India and Europe.
Her theatre credits include Antares Ensemble's one-woman show 'The Human Voice,' Arclight Repertory’s 'Twelfth Night,' Opera-Piccola's 'Mirrors of Mumbai,' Palo Alto Players’ 'Aftermath,' Golden Thread Productions’ 'Island of Animals' and TheatreWorks’ 'Baby Taj.'
She is proudest of her work in juvenile halls through the non-profit Each One Reach One for which she was awarded a Certificate of Honor by the city and county of San Francisco for creating a positive impact in the community through the arts. Featured on Contemporary Indian Women and SuperMompreneurs websites and interviewed on Women Now TV show, she was also on the cover of the first Indian bilingual Desi Lifestyle magazine.
A graduate of Columbia University, she opted out of a career in investment banking to pursue the performing arts.
