Biography
Vaishali Thakkar was born on 25 July in Mumbai. She is a veteran of Indian television. She has been associated with the Gujarati theatre for a very long time because her father also played an active role in Gujarati theatre. Her brother Hemal is a popular television producer. She started her career with Gujarati plays and then moved on to doing the long-running series, Ek Mahal Ho Sapno Ka, followed by a stint in the TRP-tripping show Baa Bahoo Aur Baby on Star Plus channel where her screen role as Praveena made her a household name.
