“I was very confident,” she said of playing Kate Sharma, the love interest of Anthony Bridgerton.

“I felt very safe. I felt very protected. I was very excited to be doing these scenes where we can show a dark-skinned woman and her body and not be so taboo about it. Especially a dark-skinned Indian woman where maybe they’re represented in a conservative way sometimes.”

“Johnny was an amazing co-partner to work with,” she continued.

“We worked with an amazing intimacy coordinator who ensured that it was choreographed and it was a safe space where we could communicate and make sure that we knew exactly what was going to be happening on the day. And I think that’s something that Johnny and I had throughout the whole series. We always had each other’s backs and made sure that each other, as much as we were doing our own work and we were on our own journeys, we would always check in with one another and make sure that they were okay.”

Season two of Bridgerton is officially streaming on Netflix and the show addresses the absence of Rege-Jean Page‘s character Simon Basset pretty early on.
