Ambika Mod Highlights Industry Hurdles for South Asian Actors

Ambika Mod, known for her roles in This Is Going To Hurt and One Day, has spoken out about the persistent barriers faced by South Asian actors in the entertainment industry. Joining the cast of the spy thriller Black Doves for its second season, she notes that a central goal of her work is to transform how South Asian women are represented on screen. Mod pointed to systemic racism as a major hurdle, stating that the glass ceiling for South Asian actors continues to rise. Her comments align with recent reports from media regulators and diversity networks highlighting ongoing under-representation of minority ethnic groups across the UK broadcasting industry, particularly in senior management and creative roles.
