‘The Accidental Prime Minister’ actor Suzanne Bernert talks about facing discrimination, her journey in Indian showbiz


Suzanne was also a part of Ekta Kapoor’s long-running daily soap, Kasautii Zindagi Kay (2001). “I did meet Ekta but since my Hindi was not all that good, there was not much of an interaction. But her mother Shobhaji was always kind and warm.”

The actor didn’t limit herself to television or Bollywood. She has spread her wings in regional cinema as well. Recalling her work in Aparna Sen’s Bengali movie Iti Mrinalini, she says, “When I was first told about it, I felt somebody was playing a prank. But when I received a call from Aparna Sen, I was finally convinced. It was a wonderful experience to shoot in Kolkata and work with Konkana Sensharma.”

Continuing about her journey in the regional cinema, Suzanne says, “I have played diverse characters, and getting into the skin of each of them has always been exciting. In fact, in the Marathi film Gallit Gondhal, Dillit Mujra, I even played the role of a lavani dancer, which was well received by the audience.” Suzanne today has her own theatre group, which she has formed with her husband, actor Akhil Mishra.
