‘Bridgerton’ Star Charithra Chandran Calls Out Entertainment Industry Mentality That Pits People Of Color Against Each Other


'Bridgerton' Star Charithra Chandran has talked industry representation and her debut play Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon.

Actors including Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel, Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Melissa Fumero and Aubrey Plaza have spoken out in the past about their being limited spaces for people of color in TV and movies. As she catches up with Deadline, she is heading to shoot an undisclosed movie the following day, is in pre-production for her associate producing debut, Song of the Sun God, a TV series she will also star in, and is wrapping Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon in the West End. Contrary to the Polaroids and doodles on the promotional poster and a pastel pink bedroom set, the one-woman Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon is a frank story of grief centering around Chandran’s witty teen character, whose sister was killed in a darkly comic accident involving a Yorkshire pudding.
