Photo: Craig Blankenhorn/HBO When Sarita Choudhury first binge-watched Sex and the City, years after the series first aired, she was relieved to find a show universe that reflected her private experiences — she just didn’t think she’d find a place there. Back then, the 55-year-old actress, best known for Homeland and Mississippi Masala , was in Italy going through a “weird time” in her life. She’d just gone through a break-up and was trying to “refigure out” who she was in the aftermath.
The Cut spoke to Choudhury about Seema’s femme-fatale energy, walking in high heels, and the reboot’s handling of race.The first day on set was an out-of-body experience. I thought, I’m going to be cool and act casual. Then you see the sets, the clothes, the shoes. You meet the girls. There’s nothing casual about it. Watching Sarah Jessica play Carrie while simultaneously being in the scene with Carrie was very surreal.
In episode six, “Diwali,” Seema deals with arranged-marriage pressures from her family. What did you think of doing that story line? Even though on one level it seemed like, Are we going back into a tradition we don’t need to keep bringing up? I also do want to keep bringing it up because it speaks to real dynamics of Indian families. There’s so much deep love in our hiding and rebellion. We don’t consider love to be “let me tell my parents the truth.” That’s not our way of loving. It would be almost fake to portray it that way. We all grew up being cheeky and trying to get away with a lot.
She’s the only good thing about it
