Playing Edwina Sharma in “Bridgerton” Season 2 isn’t Charithra Chandran’s first time on screen. According to IMDb, she’s also been on the British spy series “Alex Rider,” and has a role on the show, “Pillow Talk.” But other than those few credits, Chandran is practically brand new to acting.
Born in Scotland and raised in Oxford, Chandran majored in politics, philosophy, and economics at Oxford University and had only gotten involved in drama as a hobby, according to an interview with The Face. “I’d do more plays and rehearsals than studying, like one every month,” she said, explaining that her time in theater was the “best time of my life,” but she hadn’t at first considered making it a career. “I thought, you know what? Why don’t I just do this rather than what other people expect of me? So I cold-called people, emailed different agencies, sent off my s****y showreels and CV.”
