Bridgerton actor Charithra Chandran has shared that she’s “so proud” to represent the South Asian people who lived in the UK in the period the show is set.
For Chandran, seeing South Asian characters on screen in a period piece creates a positive link to current day life in the UK.
Chandran plays Edwina Sharma in the second season of the romantic drama, set in London in the early 1800s.
Her character, along with elder sister Kate (Simone Ashley) and mother Mary (Shelley Conn) are recent arrivals in town from India.
