Charithra Chandran has revealed that being cast in “Bridgerton” felt “real” once she had her first costume fitting.
The star is featured in the Netflix period drama as Edwina Sharma and explained how trying on a dress was a key moment in transforming into her alter ego.
“I really loved the first costume fitting because it doesn’t quite feel real until you’re in the outfit, right?” the actor told Marie Claire. “It was this beautiful, bright white dress, and it’s still one of my favorites.”
Chandran revealed how she feared that she had missed out on a part in the series after failing her audition for the role of Kate Bridgerton but was later given a second chance.
“My agent got a request from the casting director for me to audition for Kate. And then, after a while, it became clear that I was just too young,” she said. “Then I went on to be in another show. So, I’m like, ‘Oh, well, you know, opportunity gone.'”
“And then, in the middle of filming this other show, my agent comes back to me and says, ‘Hey, they would actually love you for Edwina.’ I was just like, ‘It feels like it’s meant to be; it feels like I’m meant to be in the show. what a wonderful second chance,'” the actor recalled.
