Sarita Choudhury

Sarita Choudhury is one of those actresses who's been quietly knocking it out of the park for over three decades and still doesn't get nearly enough credit. She burst onto the scene in Mira Nair's Mississippi Masala back in 1991 and was absolutely magnetic opposite Denzel Washington — the kind of debut that makes you wonder why Hollywood didn't immediately hand her everything. Instead she carved out this wonderfully eclectic career across film, television, and stage, showing up in everything from Kama Sutra to A Perfect Murder to the Sex and the City universe. Then And Just Like That brought her a whole new generation of fans, and she handled it with the same effortless cool she's always had. Born in London, educated at Queen's University, she carries this rare combination of classical stage chops and genuine screen charisma. Criminally underrated is an overused phrase, but for Sarita Choudhury it honestly fits.
