Annet Mahendru currently plays Nina, a KBG officer, in FX's THE AMERICANS. This role earned her a 2014 Critics' Choice Awards nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Recently she played Sveta in the first episode of THE X-FILES REVIVAL (Season 10) on FOX.
Mahendru was born to an East Indian father (a journalist and professor) and Russian mother (a businesswoman and artist). Mahendru finished high school in New York and received a Bachelor of Arts in English from St. John's University. After school, drawn by her passion for acting, she took classes at the HB studio, and performed in plays and independent films. While pursuing a Master's degree in Global Affairs at NYU, Mahendru reached a crossroads in her life. Dropping out of NYU, she moved to the west coast in pursuit of another degree, this one in Storytelling. A longtime fan of improvisation, she began studying at the Groundlings School and took on several comedy projects thereafter. Mahendru also studied at the Imagined Life in Hollywood.
Mahendru can soon be seen in the short she starred in and produced, KILL UNTIL KILLED. The film finished after five consecutive shoot days. Mahendru plays "Lisa Tina" alongside Charlie Schlatter, Michael Borne, Ryan Masson and Cornell Womack.
She can be heard in the DreamWorks Animation comedy PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR. She's the voice of "Eva," the snow owl analyst and North Wind agent.
Mahendru also starred in the independent film SALLY PACHOLOK from ELProductions. Sally Pacholok is a feisty ER nurse who takes on the medical establishment when she uncovers an epidemic of misdiagnoses. The film was named "Best Feature" at the Washington D.C. Independent Film Festival.
Some of her other television credits include guest roles on 2 BROKE GIRLS, MIKE & MOLLY, BIG TIME TRUSH, THE BLACKLIST, GREY'S ANATOMY, and THE FOLLOWING. She has also appeared in the feature films ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW and LOVE GLORIA.
