Charithra Chandran joined “Bridgerton” Season 2 as an eligible bachelorette who caught the eye of Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey). Throw in a love triangle with her onscreen sister played by Simone Ashley, and the Netflix series reveled in its signature steamy Regency-era drama.
Yet for Chandran in real life, her rise to fame thanks to the record-breaking series marked a different personal milestone off-camera.
“Coming to L.A., it was a profound moment because I spent my life avoiding the sun,” Chandran told Variety. “I spent my whole life going outside with a hat on or being fully covered up so I didn’t tan. This is the first time in my life that I walked out and I was like, ‘I can feel it. I can tan.’ And I can feel beautiful.”
Chandran continued, “When you’re young and you’re an immigrant all you want to do is assimilate.
