Avantika Vandanapu (born 25 January 2005), sometimes credited mononymously as Avantika, is an American actress and dancer. She has worked in several Indian films in the Telugu and Tamil languages. In 2021, she starred in the Disney Channel Original Movie Spin and in 2022, played the role of Janet Singh in the American comedy Senior Year. She was also the second winner of the Zee TV reality show Dance India Dance Lil Masters North America.

She also starred in the supernatural horror film “TAROT” playing Paige.
Ever since her grandmother Mimi’s death, Chinese-American tween Olive Cobin Zhang (Rosalie Chiang)—who “never fit in” at school and hardly sees her busy parents—has felt especially alone. Worse, her mother abruptly sends her to a former castle that had been turned into a prison before being converted into a “reforming arts school.” But the prestigious boarding school is a cover; soon, Olive is recruited for an experimental group of covert child operatives to serve as the eyes and ears of the pseudo-government crime-fighting organization No One Can Know, or NOCK. She quickly befriends fellow operative and computer genius Philomena (Avantika), as well as tough girl Iggy (Txunamy Ortiz), bookworm James (Micah Abbey), and laid-back Theo (Mason Thames); together, they deem themselves the Misfits.
