Sarah Farooqui

Acting

Sarah Farooqui is a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie, so it’s no surprise that she has embraced challenging roles throughout her acting career. The athletic and sultry British actress has built an eclectic resume ranging from Victorian period dramas to modern horror and one of Marvel’s highest-grossing films. She was raised in London, England, as the adopted daughter of an Indian father and a German mother. Sarah attended Mountview Theatre School and the BRIT Academy of Performing Arts, where she studied acting, singing, dance, musical theatre, and literature. A true adventure seeker, she has traveled the world alone and engages in heart-pounding sports such as skydiving, where she won two highly acclaimed Taurus World Stunt Awards for ‘Best High Work’ and ‘Best Specialty Stunt,’ and was also nominated for ‘Best Overall Stuntwoman’ in film. Other passions include snowboarding, shark diving, ice climbing, and elephant trekking. After surviving an intense personal tragedy—her husband was killed performing a stunt while she was eight and a half months pregnant—Sarah spent several years rebuilding her life and being present for her children. Today, she lives with a depth and vigor shaped by these experiences and is ready to return to her purpose: connecting with audiences and bringing stories to life.
