While talking about her first day at work, Charithra described it to be “absolutely mental“. They shot a scene with everyone on the Bridgerton cast. Which was also a great experience as they got to meet everyone, Charithra pointed out. The on-screen sisters also talked about the special element they bring into the show. Simone said, “there is no one really quite like them“. She further highlighted that the sisterhood of Kate and Edwina is very special.

Charithra highlighted a very prominent difference between the Sharma sisters and the other siblings of the London Ton. She said that, unlike the Featheringtons or Bridgertons, they actually grew up in isolation and they only had each other. “It’s really an exploration of sisterhood,” Charithra described the journey of her and Simone in Bridgerton season 2. She explained how there is unparallel love between Kate and Edwina, but also this tendency to have problems.
