Richa Shukla Moorjani

Moorjani's family managed a Bollywood music band. Her father is Bhojpuri, from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India, and her mother is a Kannadiga, from Karnataka, India.

Career Moorjani's early years as an actress saw her playing guest roles in several television shows including The Mindy Project (directed by Mindy Kaling), NCIS: Los Angeles, and 9-1-1. She also voice-acted in Fallout 76, a 2018 online action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.

Between 2020 and 2023, Moorjani portrayed Kamala Nandiawada, the main character Devi's cousin, in the Netflix original series Never Have I Ever, which was also co-written by Kaling. She had auditioned for Never Have I Ever through an open casting call. Speaking on playing a woman of color in STEM, she told The Hindu, "I learned about how much women of color in STEM go through. It's a real systemic problem where their names are taken off research papers."

As of late-2021, Moorjani's next project Broken Drawer, directed by Rippin Sindher, has been in post-production. The film is loosely inspired by true events, following a young Sikh mother who was killed while working at her family-owned convenience store in rural California. "Rippin called me and told me how special this role was to her, being based on her mother, and that she couldn't see anyone playing it but me. It turned out to be such a lovely and fulfilling experience," Moorjani told The Hindu. 2025
