Biography[edit]

Parvati was born in New Jersey to a German father Sham Melton and an Indian Punjabi mother Darika Preet.[4] She has one younger sister Ariana Sitara Melton.[5] She is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer. She graduated from Emeryville High School and attended Vista Community College in Berkeley, California. She took part in several beauty pageants and won the Miss Teen India Bay Area pageant in 2004 and the Miss India Le Visage USA pageant in 2005[citation needed]. While still studying in Vista College, she was offered the lead role in the Telugu film Vennela. Although she intended to go back to school after the project, the film's success kept her away.[6]
