Mita Vashisht
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mita Vashisht is an Indian television and film actress. She has worked in off-beat cinema as well as in commercial roles. She graduated from the National School of Drama. She has worked in theatre and has written scripts as well.
Due to her roles that often challenge the superficially-traditional outlook of the Indian society, she is often labelled a "non-conforming artiste" by the media.
Apart from acting, Mita is also actively involved in social work. She has worked with children in remand homes and with sex workers (she started a theatre troupe by enlisting 30 sex workers).
She has not had any significant assignments from 2004, after the film Phir Milenge.
