Born in New Delhi, India, Sindhu studied in the UK at Oxford University. She is a stand-up comic who is known for appearances on radio and TV panel shows. Despite appearing in BBC's coveted Live at the Apollo spot, the comedian only began her career in comedy at the age of 43. Before this, she worked in banking as a bonds tradeswoman in London.
Discussing her entry into comedy, she told the Evening Standard: “I got an email from someone who said she was doing stand-up and she was one of the least funny people I knew. My first performance was a heat in the Funny Women competition in 2012. I got offstage and never looked back. I was home. I cannot tell you how grateful I was.”
Since then, she has performed in the US, India and the UK. She is now a well-known performer on the comedy circuit and has appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe several times. She has also made numerous TV appearances and has been on BBC's Have I Got News for You? and Mock the Week. In 2021, she switched to acting and appeared in the second season of Netflix's Sex Education, playing Olivia's mother. She has also appeared in Rose Matafeo's BBC series Starstruck
Sindhu is married with three children, and the family live in London. Not much is known about her husband other than he is a Danish financier. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
