Charithra Chandran stole the Wimbledon spotlight from Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro, here's why everyone is talking about her
When everyone looked left, Charithra made us look right
Dressed in crisp Wimbledon whites, Charithra gave minimalist luxury a whole new meaning. She paired a clean white shirt with a racing green cashmere sweater (hello, Ralph Lauren goals), soft lambskin shorts and sleek Nappa leather pumps. And that hair? Major Edwina Sharma throwback. Charithra captioned her look with a nod to her Bridgerton alter ego, saying it was "Edwina-inspired hair for Wimbledon," and fans went wild.

From Oxford brainiac to Bridgerton baby
Born in Oxford to Tamil doctor parents, Charithra had the perfect script for an academic life. She juggled elite boarding schools, county-level sports, and bilingual brilliance in English and Tamil. Her childhood was basically a montage of straight As and stage lights. Even her parents were baffled when she chose drama over data.
Charithra crushed it at Oxford with a First in PPE, and was all set to join a swanky consultancy firm. But in classic main character energy, she had a "what if" moment and yeeted corporate life. She started emailing agents precisely at 9:05 AM on Mondays, because queen plans her hustle, and boom, landed roles in Alex Rider and then Bridgerton.
Edwina Sharma: The role that made us swoon
In Bridgerton Season 2, she played the demure yet fiercely loyal Edwina Sharma and had us all in our feels. Her portrayal was so soft, sweet, and emotionally deep, it turned the world into one giant Team Edwina club.
Since Bridgerton, she has been stacking up wild and wonderful projects. From voicing a Jedi in Star Wars: Visions to starring in Dune: Prophecy, Charithra is everywhere. Next up? A Bollywood-style Christmas musical with Eva Longoria, Hugh Bonneville and Boy George. Yes, really.
Charithra is not just an actress. She is a moment. And we are currently obsessed.
