Anjli Mohindra: I wouldn’t play Bodyguard character now

OHMYGOSSIP — Anjli Mohindra “isn’t sure” she would play her ‘Bodyguard’ role now.
The 32-year-old actress took on the role of suicide bomber Nadia who appeared to have been forced into things by her husband, and while she “wasn’t keen on the part” at the time, but she wouldn’t play the part if it came up again.
She said: “I’m not sure I would play that character now. I don’t know if we’d have a character like that now. At first, I wasn’t keen to play the part, but then I felt like there was more to Nadia than we’d seen with roles like that.”
The former ‘Sarah Jane Adventures’ actress believes the thriller series still “didn’t ask the right questions”.
She told iNews: “I think it still didn’t ask the right questions. If we’d have found out how she got into that situation, we might have understood her a bit more. She’d have been humanised.”
Anjili – who is now starring in time loop drama ‘The Lazarus Project’ – claimed that actors of colour in British television still face “hurdles” and that non-white actors are taken “more seriously” in the United States, where she has considered moving to further her career.
She said: “The hurdles that women face are intersectional. A lot of the gatekeepers in our industry are male, and they feel like a white hetero male protagonist is always safer, but that’s definitely changing.
“Actors who aren’t white are taken much more seriously over there. I’m very tempted by [moving there]. I’m still at that age where it feels doable!”
