A Niagara College broadcasting alumnus is making their mark on a new Canadian reality show.
Mark “Suki” Suknanan, who graduated in 2012, appears as Priyanka, a drag queen from Toronto, on Canada’s Drag Race, the Canuck version of the American Series RuPaul’s Drag Race.
On the reality show, Priyanka and other Canadian drag queens compete for $100,000 and a shot at becoming Canada’s first drag superstar.
Prior to starring on Canada’s Drag Race, Suknanan was a host and writer for YTV’s The Zone and the Canadian teen singing competition, The Star.
Suknanan, 29, started doing drag three years ago, and Priyanka has grown a significant following ever since. She was voted Now Toronto’s best drag entertainer and she’s in a Spice Girls tribute group with Juice Boxx, a fellow Canada’s Drag Race competitior.
Canada’s Drag Race, which is in its first season, airs Thursdays on Crave and OutTV.
