Charithra Chandran Enjoyed Breakout Success on Bridgerton

In 2022, Chandran landed the role of Edwina Sharma in Bridgerton. The role of charming, witty Edwina was perfect for Chandran, and the character quickly became popular with the show's fans. "She chooses to trust people, which you could see as na&iuml;vet&eacute; or immaturity, but it's a choice that she makes to see the best in others," <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/who-is-charithra-chandran-facts-48761544">Chandran said</a> of her character.
Interestingly enough, Chandran first auditioned for the role of Kate Sharma, Edwina's sister. "I had a few auditions for that, and decided it just didn't work out. And that was fine...And then in February, as I was in the makeup chair on the other job, I got a call from my agent telling me that they wanted to see me again for Bridgerton but as the youngest sister."
