## Early life and training
Indalkar was born in 1997. Her Marathi-language biography places the birth in Pune, while a celebrity-profile site lists her birthplace as Sangli, Maharashtra, with childhood in Pune; both agree she grew up and went to school there.[2](https://marathisrushti.in/prime/actress-priyadarshini-indalkar/) • [1](https://www.allyourchoice.co.in/celebrity/priyadarshini-indalkar/) She has said in interviews that she decided while in the tenth standard that she wanted to train at the [National School of Drama](https://www.edgepedia.org/national-school-of-drama) (NSD) in Delhi, preparing audition materials and recommendations, but she was the 27th candidate selected and NSD had only 26 places; she had already resigned a campus-placement job in anticipation of admission, so she lost both. A year later she was called to audition for *Maharashtrachi Hasyajatra*, failed to be selected in that season, and was then cast by the show's director-producer Sachin Goswami as a replacement in the play *Aamchya Hich Prakaran* before succeeding in a later audition for the show.[3](https://maharashtratimes.com/entertainment/interview/maharashtrachi-hasyajatra-fame-priyadarshini-indalkar-struggle-story-from-engineering-to-nsd-dream-to-mhj-journey/amp_articleshow/104301455.cms)
She completed an engineering degree with distinction at her parents' wish and continued acting throughout; she and her brother, who works in animation, shot videos at home and dubbed voices over them as a hobby.[5](https://maharashtratimes.com/entertainment/interview/priyadarshini-indalkar-interview-maharashtrachi-hasyajatra-fame-actress-talks-about-roles-and-upcoming-projects/articleshow/108866362.cms) She has also described video editing as a long-standing interest: she edited reels herself, and during the 2021 lockdown she produced a roughly 90-minute film about her father from phone footage sent by relatives for his fiftieth birthday.[6](https://www.esakal.com/lifestyle/priyadarshini-indalkar-over-her-video-editing-skills-and-hobbies-rjs00)
## Stage and television
Her acting career began in Marathi theater with *Maunaantar*, for which she received a second-prize award, followed by the plays *Khamoshi* and *Parana*.[2](https://marathisrushti.in/prime/actress-priyadarshini-indalkar/) She moved to Mumbai for work in 2018 and took a recurring role in the Sony Marathi series *Assa Maher Nako Ga Baai!*[1](https://www.allyourchoice.co.in/celebrity/priyadarshini-indalkar/) Her public profile was established by *Maharashtrachi Hasyajatra*, the Sony Marathi comedy show on which she appeared in season 2.[2](https://marathisrushti.in/prime/actress-priyadarshini-indalkar/) She has described the show as her daily practice, saying that playing varied characters on one stage builds a palette of colors she draws on elsewhere, and that its topical humor is its strength; producers and directors chose her for *Phulrani* after seeing her work there.[5](https://maharashtratimes.com/entertainment/interview/priyadarshini-indalkar-interview-maharashtrachi-hasyajatra-fame-actress-talks-about-roles-and-upcoming-projects/articleshow/108866362.cms)
## Voice dubbing
While acting in theater she began dubbing English films into Hindi, starting with advertisements and film characters and specializing in animated features. She gave the voice of the character Anna in *Frozen* and voiced a character in *Big Hero 6*, and she has said she worked as a voice artist on about 50 films, also doing audiobook narration.[2](https://marathisrushti.in/prime/actress-priyadarshini-indalkar/) • [3](https://maharashtratimes.com/entertainment/interview/maharashtrachi-hasyajatra-fame-priyadarshini-indalkar-struggle-story-from-engineering-to-nsd-dream-to-mhj-journey/amp_articleshow/104301455.cms) A later interview adds projects including *Harry Potter* and *Barbie* to her dubbing credits.[7](https://maharashtratimes.com/entertainment/interview/priyadarshini-indalkar-talks-about-voice-dubbing-career-and-upcoming-projects/articleshow/132276582.cms)
