As a remarkable achievement, Lilly Singh became the first individual of South Asian or Indian descent to host a late-night talk show in the US. Residing in Los Angeles, she enjoys a luxurious lifestyle in an expansive home spanning over 6,000 square feet, complete with five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a personal swimming pool.
