She was a CBBC presenter (from April 2004 to 2006) and broadcast weekdays on BBC One and CBBC Channel. She also presented Eureka TV (she replaced Fearne Cotton) on CBBC. She has also presented Smile a number of times.
She started working in TV as a runner and then researcher at BBC Birmingham after graduating from University College London where she studied French Literature 1 2. She got her first taste of presenting when she began hosting live webcasts for the BBC Asian Life website and she got her first TV break hosting the Mega Mela Music Night on BBC Two, a concert featuring the best performers of British Asian music.
She has a NATURAL flair for science, as she studied Maths and Chemistry at A Level. She also excels in languages and is fluent in French and Marathi and speaks German, Spanish and Hindi. She likes to play many sports including Tennis, Badminton and Rounders and she loves doing expressive arts such as dancing and music. When she was younger, she wanted to be an astronaut or somehow be in showbiz 3.
In February 2005 she moved back onto BBC Two to do the CBBC Two Breakfast Show instead of Sophie McDonnell while she was at Fame Academy. But the biggest change came in March. With Angellica Bell always rehearsing for The Saturday Show, she landed the top job on CBBC. Worked along side Mark Boardman of (Markmeets.com)fame at the 2007 Bafta's for the BBC inside programme and is now freelance reporter with many projects in the pipeline
Sule was accused by a TV watchdog society along with fellow CBBC presenter Sophie McDonnell of dressing like prostitutes. The claim was made that they both "wore tight shirts with their bra straps hanging on the side of their shoulders on purpose, wearing skirts or short jeans and high heels". The BBC ignored this claim saying it was rubbish.
She has recently moved away from children's programming and is currently a roving reporter on BBC Two's The People's Museum as well as presenting for Eat Cinema.
