Veronica Chail
Host, Bollywood Boulevard
As the host of Canada's leading Bollywood TV show - OMNI Television’s Bollywood Blvd, Veronica Chail has been winning over audiences with her charismatic and infectious personality since she started. Being a self-confessed news, pop culture, fashion and reality TV junkie, Veronica has interviewed the biggest names in Bollywood and Hollywood and has produced numerous interviews with the movers and shakers of the world including politicians, news-makers, sports heroes, activists, musicians.
Being in the spotlight isn't something Veronica sought when traveling the globe with her parents as a child, but it was her calling. Her journey to her dream career began halfway around the world in Sweden where she was born and raised. With no grasp of the English language, Veronica and her family later moved to Stratford, Ontario where she worked at the Stratford Festival of Canada and developed her love of Shakespeare and theatre. Her extensive travel and international experiences led her to pursue a university degree in English and Political Science and a Masters degree in Journalism at the University of Western Ontario.
Veronica enjoys the challenges of wearing multiple journalistic hats. She began her journalism career as news reporter, news writer and host at OMNI Television. She moved on to work as a TV producer at CBC for “The Hour” with George Stroumboulopoulos. The first interview she was assigned to produce on the The Hour was Hollywood royalty - Michael Douglas! Now, Veronica is back in front of the camera as a vivacious TV host and she also works as a producer and writer.
Veronica is passionate about the media's role in society and is dedicated to giving back to the community by working with a variety of charities and organizations. She is an Ambassador in support of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and is dedicated to anti-human trafficking and human rights initiatives. She is also a Member of the Board of Directors & Member of the Executive Advisory Board for Miss World Canada. In addition, Veronica works with the Mood Disorders Association of Ontario, the Chest of Hope Art Project for breast cancer research.
