Ashley Tisdale Lands Role in CBS Pilot
Ashley Tisdale has landed a new gig. The actress has landed the lead role in CBS’ new pilot, Pandas in New York.
The show follows a family of Indian doctors with a successful group practice in New York City who embark on a project to arrange their youngest son Rishi’s (Dhruv Singh) life, unaware he’s made plans of his own.
Ashley will play Maya, the director of the free clinic where Rishi (Singh) works. She has a highly developed sense of fairness and an outsized focus on social justice, particularly when it comes to the dismal state of healthcare for the poor. Underneath her tough exterior is a warm, sensitive person who is attracted to Rishi, which she tries to deny.
This could be such a fun role for Ashley. Here’s hoping it is picked up by the network!
