Aarti IRL
TBBT was the milestone she needed for Hollywood to open its doors to the actress. The NYU graduate found work on a few shoes before landing the role of Priya, but after her appearances in 12 episodes, she didn’t have much difficulty finding acting work.
Her most prominent acting gig was playing Maria Monroe in Suits, which opened the door to play Holly on Grey’s Anatomy. Aarti even played in a handful of movies, including Danny Collins and Love Sonia. She was originally cast to play Stephanie for Paging Dr. Freed, but the execs let her go since the USA Network envisioned a different person for the role.
