Anjana Vasan and “We Are Lady Parts”: Embracing Authenticity

London, May 2023 — Actress Anjana Vasan, known for her roles in “Killing Eve” and “Black Mirror,” is embracing a new era of authenticity, paralleling her character Amina in the Channel 4 series “We Are Lady Parts.” Like Amina, Vasan, 37, emphasizes non-negotiables and refusing to conform.

The BAFTA-nominated comedy, written by Nida Manzoor, follows an all-female Muslim punk band in London. The upcoming second season, exploring girl power and self-expression, premieres on May 30.

Vasan’s portrayal of Amina highlights the strong sisterhood both on-screen and off. Co-star Juliette Motamed praised the unique bond among cast members, while Faith Omole and Lucie Shorthouse discussed how the show challenges societal expectations of women.

Vasan’s diverse career, including an Olivier Award for “A Streetcar Named Desire,” continues to garner attention. Recently, “Black Mirror: Demon 79,” in which she starred, secured two BAFTA Craft Awards.

For Vasan, diverse representation remains crucial, even as she enjoys exploring varied roles. Her career trajectory, from Singapore to the UK, underscores her commitment to portraying complex, multi-dimensional characters.

Season 2 of “We Are Lady Parts” airs May 30 on Channel 4.
