Anjli Mohindra is an English stage, screen and voice-over actress and writer. She is best known for her television roles as Rani Chandra in the Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures (2008–2011) and would-be suicide bomber Nadia Ali in Bodyguard (2018). Her other television roles include Surgeon Lieutenant Tiffany Docherty in Vigil (2021), Detective Constable Josie Chancellor in Dark Heart (2016–2018) and Archie in The Lazarus Project (2022–2023).
Mohindra was born in London to immigrant parents of Indian descent. She grew up in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, apart from a four-year period on a military base in Germany, where she was the only ethnic minority child out of 2,000 students at an Armed Forces school. According to Mohindra, her family is Hindu Punjabi. Her father was raised in Kenya when it was a British colony and had a clerical job in the British Army for several years. Her mother was born in Punjab, India and arrived in the UK from India at the age of 18 to further her education, working variously as a court clerk, bank manager, postmistress, pub owner and English tutor.
Mohindra has a sister and a brother. In a 2018 interview about her personal style, Mohindra said that she had been a tomboy growing up, sometimes wearing her brother's hand-me-down clothes.
Mohindra attended Jesse Gray Primary School and West Bridgford School. She later trained in acting at the Central Junior Television Workshop in Nottingham.
