But Charithra Chandran says it's one her grandparents only recently stopped throwing her way.

As well as playing Edwina Sharma in the Netflix hit, the 27-year-old also appeared in spy thriller Alex Rider and will soon be seen in upcoming Prime film How to Date Billy Walsh.

Charithra has a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, but it wasn't enough to pull her away from acting.

And while her rise might look rapid, she doesn't necessarily see it that way.
