Diversity on American television seems to be on the rise as actress Pallavi Sharda is the latest Bollywood actress to bag a show in the US. Pallavi, who has featured in Bollywood films like “Besharam” and “Hawaizaada,” has been chosen as the female lead opposite Mike Vogel in the ABC drama “Triangle.” Directed by McG, “Triangle” poses the question, what if the Bermuda Triangle was not a watery grave in the middle of the ocean but a land lost in time that has trapped travellers over the course of human history?

Earlier this year, veteran actor Anupam Kher shared on Twitter that his series “New Amsterdam” has been confirmed for Season 2. The actor played a neurosurgeon in the first season of the show inspired by Bellevue, the oldest public hospital in the US. He had also featured in the American web television series “Sense8”, that starred his son Sikander Kher, actor Purab Kohli and actress Tina Desai as well.

Last month, there were reports about Priyanka being in talks with Amazon Prime Video for some projects. Before that, Priyanka made waves in the US with her show “Quantico.” Nimrat Kaur is another Indian actress who has been successfully maintaining a balance between her work internationally and in the Hindi film industry. The “Jhakaas” actor Anil Kapoor featured in the eight season of American series “24”, starring Kiefer Sutherland. Actress Mallika Sherawat was also seen in the popular TV series “Hawaii Five O.” Veteran actor Kabir Bedi had featured in “The Bold and the Beautiful” as Prince Omar Rashid.
