Neha Mahajan is an Indian actress and model known for her works predominantly in Marathi and Hindi films, in addition to Marathi theatre.[1] [2] Mahajan made her debut in 2012, with the English-language Canadian-British production Midnight's Children directed by Deepa Mehta.
In 2013, Mahajan played Ophelia in Madhav Vaze's stage production of Hamlet in Marathi.[3] She then appeared in Ajoba (2013), and Feast of Varanasi (2014).[4] In 2015, she made her Mollywood debut as Vishaya in the indie drama The Painted House which was marred with controversy during its release as it was initially banned in India by the censor board as the film-makers did not agree to delete the scenes which depicted the female lead completely nude. However the film-makers challenged the decision in High Court where the film was given clearance and released without any cuts with an "A" certificate. [5] Most recently Neha appeared in the 2019 Netflix series Leila, a dystopian drama. She was also seen in Rohit Shetty's action film Simmba. In 2020, she made her Hollywood debut in the action-thriller Extraction.
