Biography

Rina R Mehta
About the extraordinary Rina Mehta:I am from Kansas City, Missouri and the first to be born in the US from parents of India. I am the oldest amongst 3 siblings, and always had the responsibility of being a good role model and helping raise them. Growing up was very different for my family and I. Since my family was traditional Indian, and I was raised in America, I had many challenges in life. I had to balance family traditions and embrace the Indian culture, and had to balance being raised in the American culture. I am often referred to an ABCD (American Born Confused Desi). My parents did teach me to be very involved in both cultures. English is my first language, but my parents also taught me to speak Gujarati and Hindi. Growing up as a child I didnt spend my days as a normal child at home or playing in the park. You would always see me hanging at the mall or working at my parents business. Since my parents had a couple businesses in the mall, my summer breaks or days off from school would be at the mall.. The mall was my playground. I was like the popular kid at the arcade, the toy store, and candy store. I used to always get great tips for being a young hard working, and get free tokens and candy. Everyone who worked in the mall knew me. Till this day, the mall walkers tell stories of me when I was little and couldnt even see over the counter. I enjoyed working with my parents. My main attraction was running the register. At age 6, I was playing with real money and taught to be a hard worker. Till this day, when I go home, I will go hang out with my mom and help her run the register. In my mid-teens, my dad wanted me to have an arranged marriage, but my mom wanted me to have an education. It was a struggle because at age 16 my dad was set on my arrange marriage. All I wanted to do was be a high school student. It came very close to happening, but my mom was very strict about me getting an education and finding my own love. Therefore, I am the first in the family to get a degree and not have an arranged marriage. Acting-hosting-modeling was not something I grew up saying as a child. I actually used to be really shy and tom boyish. My mom put me into modeling when I was in my later teens, and after that journey, I loved it. My mom was quite surprised because I was not into the idea of getting in modeling and acting. After experiencing it, I loved it. Now, Im the first in the family getting to do what I inspire to do. Even though Ive been raised in business atmospheres, and could easily run my own business, Im passionate about acting and hosting. I love the camera, and entertaining people. Its one thing I enjoy waking up to and working hard at. My dad never accepted this dream of mine until he witnessed himself how happy I was being in front of the camera made me. Finally after years of fighting for what I wanted he gave me his blessing to pursue this passion of mine. Two weeks later, my dad passed away. My family is completely supportive of this challenge, and my dream would be to fulfill what Aishwarya Rai Bachan started to do. I dont only want to be type casted as an Indian in films and television, but be able to portray many kinds of roles. I pride myself in working hard and following my dream. I consider myself to be the Indian DashLo. Which represents having Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez in me. I am a huge fan of both because of their drive and passion for the entertainment business. These are smart women with empires who will work numerous hours to be successful. These ladies wont let the word No determine their future, and I admire them for that. I have the qualities these women have, and Im proud to call myself the Indian DashLo! I had the opportunity to work for the CW of Kansas City know as KCWE. At this television station I was the on-air host where I learned everything from green screen to hosting on the streets. I also have an Indian film called Allidhe Nammane Ille Bande Summane, coming out Summer 2011. In this film I play one of the starring roles and experienced everything from filming in the negative degree weather in Colorado to filming in over 100 degree weather in India. It was an amazing, yet challenging experience, but I loved every second of it. Im a diverse talent and I hope to do everything from television to film. My goal is to be a mainstream International actress. Now, I am living in Hollywood, where I am pursuing acting and hosting. I strive hard, and plan to be a recognized, hard working entertainer.
