Bridgerton's Simone Ashley on why Kate Sharma is a heroine for any era
, Ashley spoke to TIME about the power of sisterhood, tapping into her competitive side to play Kate, and what it was really like to film the famous Pall Mall scene., but I think a lot of modern women will identify with Kate, who’s fiercely independent. Why do you think she’s a character who can be a heroine for any era?
Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma, Jonathan Bailey as Anthony Bridgerton in episode 204 of Bridgerton. Cr. Liam Daniel/Netflix © 2022Kate’s an excellent competitor. In the show, you ride horses, hunt, and play Pall Mallwith the extremely ruthless Bridgerton family. Did you do all of these things to prepare for the role?
Any day where it was all of the cast, like all of the Bridgertons and the Shamas and Lady Danbury. I didn’t have many scenes with the Featheringtons, but any scenes where it was the majority of us. That was so much fun. Just singing lots of songs, playing games, being silly—it’s why I love this job. When you’re all together and waiting for cameras to go up, we were just having lots of fun together. It doesn’t feel like work.
The Sharmas are from India, and their South Asian identity and culture is a big part of the character development for the family. What did it mean for you for this element to be part of the show? And did you give any input in terms of storyline?
