“How am I going to protect and take care of my family, for them to live for them to eat, to be taken care of, and have a roof over their head? That’s the heartbeat I kept throughout the whole series, how important Kate’s family is to her. It’s an act of survival, and it goes beyond finding a love match,” the English actress said. “It’s much different for them than it is for the Bridgertons and the other families that we meet in this world. The Viscount and the Diamond are doing it all for their families and their duty.”Īshley is also particularly proud of how the Sharma family, who are immigrants to London from India, was portrayed as outsiders in this world of opulence who eventually carved out a space for themselves. She continued, “It’s about the love story between the sisters, one between Kate and Anthony, and the love story of family.
It was also very brave of her sister Edwina to come back together and set each other free,” Ashley said. And I think it’s so brave of her to actually let that go and eventually after the mistake she makes to come forward. I think a lot of women can relate to that. She’s not afraid to own the fact that she has feelings about disappointing her family, to have that confrontation to let her family down because she’s put them first her whole life. It’s very evident that Kate is just trying to protect her sister and if anything, she’s actually being dishonest with herself, therefore being dishonest with her family. While on the surface it may seem that Kate and her sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran) are competing for Anthony, Ashley says, “It’s more like three love stories are going on at once.” Ashley is proud of how Season 2 wrapped its arms around this multilayered story focused on family, love, and strong women coming into their own, instead of it being a story about a man coming between two women.
