Character Biography

An East Indian stunner. Bollywood Erin Brockovich. No-nonsense, independent, a cool temperament, nonchalantly bisexual. She investigates for all the lawyers - Will, Diane, and Cary - but she continues to work the best with Alicia, taking her under her wing. As different as the two are, they become good work friends - which is odd for Kalinda; she rarely makes friends.
