Vaishnavi Dhanraj (born 25 August 1988) is an Indian television actress. She is best known for her portrayal of Nirbhaya in Satyagraha on Aaj Tak, and for playing the role of Sub-Inspector Tasha in Sony T.V's popular and long-running show CID. Both these enactments won rave reviews from critics and the latter in particular, launched her stardom.
In 2011 Vaishnavi wrote several blogs for The Times of India as part of the publication's series of celebrity blogs. Vaishnavi married actor Nitin Sahrawat in 2012, they separated in 2016.
Vaishnavi was born in Nagpur and did her schooling from Blind Relief Association's Mundle High School. After she graduated from Shivaji Science College, her family shifted to Kalyan in 2008. Vaishnavi's parents encouraged her artistic inclination and escorted her to her initial auditions. She was known as Vaishnavi Bhoyar during her student years.
Vaishnavi started her acting career in 2008 with a cameo in Kasautii Zindagii Kay. Taking note of her work in this show, the production house offered her the parallel lead in Karam Apnaa Apnaa in the same year. After acting in these two shows with the name Vaishnavi Bhoyar, she replaced her surname with her father's first name- Dhanraj due to numerological reasons. In 2009 Vaishnavi joined CID as a gun toting detective named Sub-Inspector Tasha. For this show Vaishnavi refused stunt doubles and performed all her stunts herself. CID launched her stardom and she became widely popular throughout as Tasha.
Her feisty performance in CID was instrumental in her winning the main protagonist's role in Na Aana Is Des Laado when the show took a time leap of 18 years in December 2010. Vaishnavi played the character of Jhanvi, a feminist who fights for women empowerment in rural India. In early 2012 Vaishnavi contemplated leaving Na Aana Is Des Laado and rejoining CID as she was dissatisfied with her role but the issue was settled amicably and she continued being a part of Laado till it ended in July 2012.Na Aana Is Des Laado was based on the issue of Female foeticide in India.
