Simone Ashley Opens Up About South Asian Representation in "Bridgerton"

POPSUGAR: Do you remember where you were when you found out you landed the role of Kate Sharma?
Simone Ashley: Yes, I was in London filming at the time, and it was a whirlwind, to say the least. I was actually living in LA and I came to London to wrap up filming on a few projects. I thought I was going to go back to the States when "Bridgerton" had literally just fallen in my lap. Within two weeks, everything changed. I moved back to London and then headed over to rehearsals and we started filming. I've just been kind of riding the wave of all of this wonderful change and opportunity. It's been a bit crazy but in the best way possible.
