Seeta Indrani
- Actress

Began her career as Cassandra in the original cast of "Cats" by
Andrew Lloyd Webber, followed by seasons at The Royal National Theatre, The Royal
Exchange, and The Royal Shakespeare Company, where she renewed her
relationship with "Cats" director Trevor Nunn, and went on to work with
John Caird, and joint artistic director Terry Hands. Then came the role for
which Seeta is perhaps best known - that of WPC Norika Datta in the
long-running police drama, The Bill (1984) (1989-1998), for which she was voted
Best Supporting Actress by The Asian Film Academy in 1995. In 1996 she
received a further accolade from The Asian Film Academy, this time as
Best Actress. Recently she has been in "Cruel Garden" with Rambert
Dance Company, played Ariel to Alec McCowen's Prospero in "The Tempest", and
she appeared at the London Palladium with her childhood heroine
Cyd Charisse. She was invited to take part in the first national tour in 40
years of Britain's oldest opera company, Carl Rosa Opera, playing
Prince Orlovsky in "Die Fledermaus". Seeta keeps in shape with a
mixture of ballet and step classes. She studies singing with
Mary Hammond.
