Ms. Gujral is a filmmaker, motivational speaker, and a young women’s breast cancer survivor. Gujral also serves as President of Uniglobe Entertainment, a Hollywood-based studio focusing on socially relevant international projects for the North American market. Though Gujral started in the industry as an actress – a career choice, she gave up in 2008 after her first cancer diagnosis. Gujral is a breast cancer survivor and a blood cancer survivor. She attributes her medical journey to the dramatic shift in her life, leading her to choose entertainment projects with strong humanitarian angles. Gujral has been recognized widely for her creative and commercial expertise in co-productions between Hollywood and Bollywood. She often lends her opinions to major networks like CNN, Fox, and the Times of India. Gujral has spoken on Hollywood-Bollywood co-productions at Stanford University, Nashville Film Fest, Melbourne Film Festival, Connecticut Film Fest, and more.

Gujral’s first production ‘Americanizing Shelley’ starring Beau Bridges and Wil Wheaton was released theatrically in 24 countries with partners like WB in the USA. Gujral also recently directed ‘American Dream,’ a film starring Satya Bhabha and Omi Vaidya. The film covered the challenges new immigrants from the third world who migrate to developed countries face. Gujral’s recent venture ‘5 Weddings’, a Hollywood-Bollywood rom-com, starring Bollywood stars Nargis Fakhri (Bollywood Blockbuster ‘Rockstar’), Rajkummar Rao (Bollywood Blockbuster ‘Stree’), Oscar nominee Candy Clark (‘American Graffiti’) and Golden Globe nominee Bo Derek (‘10’) opened theatrically in 54 countries this past October. Lifetime TV honored Gujral as one of their “Remarkable Women” making her the first Indian American to join the ranks of other notables such as Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton. The honor was awarded for WB’s “1 a Minute,” starring Olivia Newton-John, Melissa Etheridge, Deepak Chopra, Lisa Ray, Mumtaz, Jaclyn Smith, Barbara Mori, and Billy Baldwin. Currently, Gujral is also in production on ‘Finding Match,’ a docudrama on blood cancer that traces the journey of humans from pre-historic times and the genetic changes that occurred, which make various ethnic groups more likely to find stem cell matches within their communities.

Yash Raj Films invited Gujral to speak on the dynamics of global co-productions at FICCI, India’s highly prestigious entertainment conference, held annually in Mumbai. Gujral has also served as Juror at film festivals and several Miss India-America pageants. As part of a give-back to the world cancer community, Gujral launched The Thrive Channel in June 2017. TTC is a media brand devoted to cancer survivors. Gujral developed the shows Destination Survival, Ultimate Survivor, and Thrive with Namrata as a guidebook for cancer survivors to promote a good quality of life after cancer treatments.
