Growth is something Ashley relishes about being an actress, which is good being that the British up-and-comer, who is of Indian heritage, is on the rise. A bit part in Warner Bros. feature Detective Pikachu and a cadre of episodes in U.K. series like Casualty and Broadchurch, predated a recurring role in Netflix’s Sex Education. The latter, which has been a recurring fixture in Netflix’s Top 10 over its three seasons, offered a “confidence boost,” says the actress. Next up is an almost assured breakout role as the female lead in the second season of the streamer’s global hit Bridgerton, an experience that Ashley says has her already feeling “like a different person.”
If I weren’t an actor, I’d be … “A marine biologist.”
If a superhero franchise was based on my life, my superpower would be … “Making brunch.”
If I had a theme song, it would be … “Dela” by Johnny Clegg
If I had to live in a world from a movie or TV show, I would choose … “Napa Valley, California, in The Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan, or Barcelona in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.”
