She's starring in Wedding Season on Netflix, where she's the first South Asian woman to lead a mainstream studio romcom film. In this episode Pallavi and Jess discuss her passion for making space for actors of color, growing up as a migrant child in Australia, and the past trauma of being quietened. Pallavi is passionate about building empathy and breaking down bridges, and she also happens to be Jess’s husbands hall pass.
