“So how did Shantaram come about, and can you tell me more about the character you play? The process was normal, but the experience for me at that time was very new and riveting. I’d only been acting for a few months, and every opportunity I had to do an audition was so mega for me. I play Lisa Carter, an American girl on a quest for beauty, adoration, belonging, escape. I think the zeitgeist of 70’s rock n roll led her to India to find enlightenment and awakening, like many of her idols at the time. Only Lisa quickly falls into brown sugar, and subsequently into sex work to support her habit. She’s a dream character to inhabit, childlike but wise, vulnerable and naive yet so experienced. There’s so much to work and play with. And throughout the season you’ll see her develop a sense of agency and confidence she doesn’t have in the beginning. It’s a lovely arc.” to read the full @behindtheblinds article, link in bio. thanks to @jenn__kang for the photos, @marc_eram for the @ysl by @anthonyvaccarello getup and @cedricjolivet and @laurenpalmersmith for the post sex hair n makeup 🕶
