HI, I’M GUNJAN
I'm a Toronto-based actress. I perform sketch comedy, improv, and dramaturgy on-stage both independently and with a bilingual (English & Hindi) improv troupe called "Hinprov".
Since 2018, I have been training with two of Toronto’s most revered schools of comedy – The Second City Training Centre (Conservatory Program Graduate May 2024) and the Bad Dog Theatre Company (Studio Series Program). More recently, I have trained with Earl Nanhu at EVN Film and Television Studios in a method that emphasizes a spiritual approach to acting.
I have performed both nationally and internationally; select credits include performances at the Detroit Improv Festival, Ottawa Improv Festival, Guelph Comedy Festival, Brampton’s ZipFest, the Second City Training Centre’s John Candy Box Theatre, Mississauga Fringe Festival, and Bad Dog Theatre's Blockbuster Week.
Outside of dedicated training, my acting toolkit has evolved through traveling (15+ countries and counting), multiple corporate and public sector career paths, practicing empathy in my daily life, and generally living life to the fullest.
I also hold a Master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto.
I was born in New Delhi, India, and grew up in Egypt and Canada. I speak English, Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi.
