Meet Bhavnisha Parmar - London Based Actor - Sonya Khan in seasons 11, 12 & 13 of Doctor Who
Between spending the days reading scripts, auditioning, connecting with humans from all creative paths and elevating the brand of Bhav… I simply love lending my face to the world!
I love comedy (the dryer and slap stickier the better) and everything else from an underdog story, a drug addict's recovery, or even playing a wisecracking lawyer for good measure.
You've most likely seen me as Sonya Khan in Doctor Who, but that's only a slither of what I have to offer. If variety is the spice of life then I like my performances to be off the Scoville scale!
So take a look at my reels and see how I can bring your next character to life.

So, who is Bhav on the daily?
Bhavnisha / aka Bhav / aka me... is a bright spirit, a hard working female VO and actor, a loving wife, and a member of a large (very large!) Indian family. I guess that’s where my love for stories, and working with lots of people in a close proximity comes from!
Between checking in with mum in Brum and working with production companies and clients such as the BBC, HSBC and Venus, I really do feel like my days couldn't be any more full. So, I always remember to grab myself a big bar of 78% dark cocoa chocolate as a reward (85% if I’m feeling perky!).
When I'm not acting, my time is spent auditioning. TV, commercials and corporates. I’m always catching up with clients and the agency because my creative outlook is to be collaborative. Always!
The Power Of Collaboration Is The Whole Nine Yards For Me...
The performance is important, but after over a decade on sets, I’ve learned it’s the person behind the scenes who matters just as much.
That’s where the real experience of being a working actor comes from. The craft is one thing, but if someone is dragging down the vibes on set, no amount of BAFTA-worthy moments can make up for a team mate who doesn’t put the entire crew first.
Acting’s always been about the shared story for me.The kind that’s been shaped by writers, directors, and whole groups of people long before I ever step onto set.My job is to take all of that hard work (the storyboards, the edits, the endless meetings) and bring it to life in a way that feels honest.
That’s the bit I love most.

“We have used Bhav on a number of occasions as an actor and presenter in our video production projects and it’s been a fantastic experience every single one! A highly experienced, professional performer, Bhav is always fully prepared for the role and takes direction well. She’s also a delight to be around and is a pleasure to have on set! I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“My boss and I have a joke going that I try to work Bhavnisha into every project I manage, but in fact that isn’t far from the truth! We love working with Bhav, from recording voiceovers to live action filming for a wide array of projects and clients. Her professionalism, enthusiasm and commitment to each job, big or small, makes her a pleasure to work with every time. Looking forward to the next one!”

“The entire process of working with Bhav, from casting to delivery, was a total pleasure! Talented, reliable and versatile, Bhav always give 110% on set and remains positive and professional. She is a lovely person to have around and goes the extra mile to ensure you are happy with her delivery – which makes everyone else’s job so much easier! Could not recommend her more highly.”
