Amy Maghera is a talented British actress born in Milton Keynes, England, who has established a strong presence in the film industry. She is based in London and LA, and her unique heritage is a blend of Indian, Scottish, and English roots. Her mother hails from Punjab, India, while her father is of Scottish and English descent.
Amy's career in film began with a lead role in the feature film "Angry Indian Goddesses," which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Before pursuing acting full-time, Amy started her career as a professional dancer. She danced for the likes of Kanye West after graduating from Winchester University. Her experience as a dancer on set in a Bollywood film in Mumbai led to her being approached by one of India's biggest talent agencies, Matrix. This opportunity allowed her to relocate to Mumbai and quickly gain popularity as a model and actress in the Indian commercial, fashion, and film industry.
