In this exclusive Ambika Mod interview, the actress who first cme to our screens opposite Ben Wishaw in the BBC adaptation of 'This is Going to Hurt' shares her journey from working 9-5 jobs, doing comedy gigs fuelled by Greggs sausage rolls to Netflix stardom in 'One Day.'
In case you don't know about 'One Day' already the Netflix TV show is based on the best-selling book by David Nicholls and follows Emma (played by Ambika) and Dexter (played by 'White Lotus' star, Leo Woodall) over the course of 20 years from a first meeting at Edinburgh university to one of the most tragic endings ever.
In this episode of Reign, Ambika talks about how seeing herself on screen growing up would have helped her as not seeing South Asian women on screen made her question, “do people fall in love with someone who looks like me?” Ambika also opens up about struggling to feel comfortable in her own skin.
Plus Ambika talks very powerfully and movingly about how playing Junior Doctor, Shruti in 'This Is Going to Hurt' made her confront her mental health and living with 'anhedonia' which is a numbing to all joy in life.
This is one of my favourite episodes of the podcast ever as Ambika's story is so inspiring, and she is a symbol of what can happen if you hard work and stay determined! If you are equally inspired by Ambika please get in touch - you can find me across all social media platforms on @joshsmithhosts and also if you need a debrief about 'One Day' or just some emotional support shout! I always LOVE talking to you!
Don't forget you can listen to the full interview with Ambika wherever you get your podcasts from RN where she talks more about the audition process for One Day, the hardest scenes to shoot and more! Love, Josh xx

Will you ever emotionally recover from One Day? Whilst you mop up the tears, listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 There is SO much more from Ambika over on the podcast, hope you love it and let me know what you think! Love, Josh x
I’d like to know the same, will I ever recover?
how can we cope (desperate)
oh my gosh Josh! This was a beautiful interview and so much encouragement offered for us ladies! You were an absolute gem in filming this. Thank you so much for bringing this to us :)
I think we are all feeling this way. I’m dreaming about it and thinking about it all the time. I watched it twice. Absolutely floored by their acting. Leo was incredible too! Absolutely incredible. I’m shook by Dexter
I will never recover, i should sue them for emotional damages 😭🤣
So moving to hear Ambika say she doesn't find herself beautiful...Every time I see her I think she looks like a Disney princess, she's so stunning!
Omg I literally thought „Disney Princess“ a second before I read your comment!
Ambika is such an inspiration ... Finished the show 3 days ago but I still can't get it out of my mind
The journey she has been on to get to this point is so inspirational isn't it? If you want to hear more from Ambika listen to the full chat on my podcast, Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 - hope you enjoy and let me know what you think! Josh x
Same here !
Same. Finished it and can't seem to get it off my mind too.
Same here…
Ditto. I can't get it out of my mind...
I did the same thing Josh. Watched it and immediately started watching it again. Plus I am consuming every interview they have done and every video edit about the show. Needless to say, I LOVE it.
I am now on my third watch - I AM NOT JOKING! If you also want more from this interview you can listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it - it's over 45 mins long so there is plenty more from Ambika on the pod! Josh
@@reignwithjoshsmith7520 I am rewatching it too, just adore the show!
Ditto.
@@reignwithjoshsmith7520I just wanted to thank you for directing me to your 45 minute podcast with Ambika Mod. It is fantastic. Well done you. 👏👏 I am still blown away by Ambika and Leo’s performances and this being their first lead roles for both in such a massive series. A masterclass by both. 🤯
Yes ❤
Ambika is so honest and open. Would like to see her on our screens more - she would excel in any role she’s in. What a talent!
Really hope this is just the beginning of an incredible career for Ambika! If you want to hear more from her, make sure you check out the full interview on the podcast here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 and let me know what you think! Hope you love because there is plenty more refreshing honesty over there!
As a young brown woman, seeing Ambika on screen has made me fall in love with her portrayal of Emma even more! I love love loved feeling represented for once
😍 Thank you so much for this interview, I feel like your questions were really good and I loved Ambika's reponses! You both seem genuine and lovely ❣
such good questions right! I didn't see myself on tv till Mindy Kaling and I'm 47!
YES !
@@jadooindestew Ikr! Aww bless you. How did you feel watching it? It is hard out here as brown women we are often masculinised because some of us have features that don't fit eurocentric beauty standards. We are still beautiful even if everyone around us compliments people that "look white".
@@serinat2181 Honestly it was heartbreaking and uplifting all at once. I'm as awkward as Emma and my xhusband actually looks a lot like Leo, however I related more to Dexter's character! lol. I'm very much that shattered, emotional, passionate, spontaneous type. Plus, being divorced feels like a death. Unfortunately I still love that blockhead 1000 times over but have to simply let go because it's not for me. meh. That aside, seeing this relationship in a lead role gave me back so much confidence I had lost. Representation is so important. I didn't even understand what that meant until I saw Mindy Kaling on tv! We fall in too.
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I really reallly appreciate the love! x
She’s brilliant.. I binged it on Saturday ... 3 days ago.... and I’m still recovering 😢
ALL IN ONE DAY!!! Your emotions must be all over the place! That is one intense work out! Once you have finished mopping up the tears, listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it, Josh
Ambika is so beautiful, she doesn’t even realize how much. Ambika you are stunning.
Her honesty about anxiety and depression 🥺 and she's so hard working and i'm so glad it all paid off for her. She truly truly deserves everything that's gonna come her way...❤
That part will always stick with me and it's such a wonderful moment too because it shows everything in life can turn around! If you want more Ambika checkout the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you love it - it's 50 mins long so this video is really just a small part of the interview!
Emma and Dex are just meant to be. Love is too small a word for this relationship. This is a meeting of souls. That’s why it’s touched so many of us
That is so beautifully put! If you want hear Ambika talking about the show more heckout the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you love it!
Oh yes! I watched Normal People, Past Lives and One Day in a row in one week. I’m a wreck 💔😅
She’s so talented!! Loved the casting and their chemistry is amazing!
It was the best casting, right? If you want to hear more about the audition process, the chemistry reads and more listen to the full chat with Ambika on my podcast, Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 - hope you enjoy! x
I watched it over 4 days. So relatable in every sense. Living in Edinburgh in the late 80s, opp Arthur's Seat for a while, spent years in London, Richmond, Belsize Park all familiar ... Abs bowled over by the series 15:35
Such a talent.
Can't get the series out of my head.
I can't get it out of my head either - it's such a special show! If you want to listen to more about One Day and more, listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it, Josh
Absolutely loved the show! When she was talking about representation, not just seeing yourself on screen but seeing that someone like you can fall in love and be loved, totally relate to that as an Asian woman as well.
It’s really unfortunate the number of comments I’ve seen online criticizing her looks. I think it’s super refreshing to see someone not “conventionally attractive” or uber hot playing the love interest.
this! it felt more human, more realistic
Beauty Is in The Eyes Of The Beholder!
I am so happy the show resonated with you - that is such a special thing! If you want to hear Ambika talk more about representation, listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it, Josh
As a first generation recent Indian immigrant to the UK who's dating a hot white man, it's very much possible for couples like us to exist.
She is so beautiful but more than that what a talent. 😊
Ambika is so so beautiful! Like a simple and detailed beauty. And Leo, Leo destroyed me with his performance, I mean it! I fell in love for both of you 🥲

It's amazing to see such a huge outpouring for this performances isn't it! If you love One Day and want to hear Ambika talking about it in more depth, listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it, Josh
YES!!!! I watched this entire series back to back twice. In many ways it felt like watching my own story. I cried for every episode. My xhusband even looks a bit like Leo. I'm not quite as beautiful as Amibka but I am as awkward as Emma. I cried for the love I lost, the love I thought I had. Really meaningful series.
It is so amazing when you relate to something on such a huge level like that isn't it? If you also want to hear more from Ambika talking about One Day and more listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it, Josh
I had this experience too, it felt like it was mine and my wife's story (we met 22 years ago). Ambika reminds me of her hugely (although she's south American not Indian) It has moved both of us and shaken up our world in a incredible way. The one thing I keep thinking is that its really REALLY not just a love story. I'm a 47 year old bloke that doesn't watch much TV but I don't think I've ever been this affected by a TV show. Its just astonishing.
@@danbax76 I know, this spoke to my heart so, so deeply. I am actually Indian (From Trinidad) and awkward as hell, but I actually related more to Dexter's character. That shattered part of him. That spontaneous, romantic, charming, terrified part of him. I'm 47 and my husband and I got divorced this January. This show, broke me. I still love Sebastian (my X) very much and I supposed that's why it hurts so bad. We were married for 17 years.
Seeing a POC/BAME person on screen without their whole character surrounding them not being white is TRUE representation. I just want to see a normal girl experience everyday life without it being a statement. Yes, I love movies that highlight different cultures, but it's so nice to just have it be normal for someone to not be white on screen. We are real people who have beautiful friendships, awful heartbreaks, and everything in between.
This....THIS
Its been five days since I binged watched. I still cannot get them and their story out of my head and I cried like a baby while I watched the last episode.
I cried so much in the final episode! I think I will be emotionally scared for life! If you want to hear more about the show, listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it, Josh
homie... why'd you put spoilers in the video@@reignwithjoshsmith7520
thank God she is alive
Such a special person isn't she! Make sure you listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 because this video edit is just a quarter of the chat!
She’s absolutely beautiful and extremely talented. Can’t wait for more Ambika Mod on screen
She's sooooooo beautiful ❤
And the kind of beauty we need on our screens more! If you want more Ambika talking more about the show and beauty checkout the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you love it!
She’s real. And so gorgeous in every possible way. God bless her.
I just watched One Day 2 days ago and I absolutely loved it so much! Ambika, is such a beautiful and believable actress! I could'nt see anyone playing Emma, but, her! And Leo, I feel the same about him, he is the best Dexter there could have been!! I love the two of them to bits!!! Best thing I have watched in a long time!!!! I'm in love with it actually, and the two of them!!!! ❤❤❤❤
It is the perfect casting isn't it? If you want to hear more about the casting process make sure you listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it, Josh
she is so beautiful dude
Great interview because it was genuine . As a Latina it was refreshing to see this powerful, smart and sassy woman called Emma. I loved it. I remember growing up and when I was a professional actor who studied film acting that I could never get a film role because of my looks back in the 1980's and 1990's. It just was so rare and difficult.
Thank you for the love for the interview and I also just wanted to say I am so sorry you had to live through that experience. I hope you know now how special and valued you are! If you also want to hear Ambika talking about this more in depth, listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it, Josh
Honestly, I will never forget it. Totally amazing in every way.
She is sensational. I loved her as Emma...inspired casting and I am so glad she said yes. I also had the need to watch it again, right away...Ive just finished watching it a third time 😳...i have never done that with a tv show before. BRAVO to everyone involved. Ambika and Leo are now my two favourites and I cant wait to see what they do next ❤
I can't wait to see what they do next too! In the meantime if you want more Ambika checkout the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you love it!
Think I am about 20+ times - 😮
To be honest, I did not think Ambika and Leo had any chemistry in the first episode. But I loved the story so I stuck with it. But wow, by episode 9 or 10 when they saw each other at Tilly’s wedding, the chemistry was there. All the feels…
What a warm, endearing, and heartfelt interview, she nailed it, she put a voice in Emma, and she connected us viewers with her character in ways that most of us couldn't imagined
Want to see Ambika more often definitely.
Oh Ambika I think you're "look together with your superb, natural acting skills has got you where you are now and will be taking you to more particular roles. Your " look " is so unique and so stunning. It's a very different look, quite exquisite, you don't realise. I love you and Leo. You were so genuine, and your audience like me seem to be hoping you will both connect in real life 😊🌹
Her acting skills are off the charts - couldn't agree more! If you want more from Ambika, listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it - it's 45 minutes long so plenty more chat over there! Josh
Yes Josh watched it several times and kept on going back. Both the tv series and your podcast 😅❤
And yes you've earned a subscriber as well 😊
Woah she's so cool and beautiful. What a lovely interview too.

So hope you enjoy, Josh
Beautiful interview. Ambika and Leo were so great on screen together, such raw emotions. Episode 12 is paradise, while the last two episodes just crush the life out of you. Amazing actors 🥰
Thank you for the love for the interview - it's a really beautiful show isn't it! If you want more Ambika talking about the show and more checkout the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you love it!
Binged the series and felt the need to watch it again. So I did. Then proceeded to watch again. Listening to Ambika is so refreshing, same with Leo Woodall - they’re humble and hilarious. I could listen to them all day
Me too! If you want more Ambika checkout the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you love it - it's 50 mins long so this video is really just a small part of the interview!
Beautifully weighted questions that implied empathy and insight and really helped bring the best out of this really smart actress.
Watched the series, then the film, then the series again. Downloaded the book, then watched the series again. Think I'm hooked 🤷♀️
I have that same feeling of watching over and over again
I am on my third time now - you? If you want more Ambika checkout the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you love it - it's 50 mins long so this video is really just a small part of the interview!
I have read the book numerous times and watched the movie more than once. I did not want to watch this. Turned out better than the movie and I was blown away. I was shattered at the end.
Brilliant, never seen either actors before but would definitely look out for what they do next, would love to see.them again in something else
Make sure you watch Ambika in 'This is Going To Hurt' which was on the BBC! She is next level incredible in it! And listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 where she talks in more depth about One Day and her journey! Hope you love it, Josh
Thoroughly enjoyed this! As a south asian woman, this show and the way it represented brown people meant a lot especially because it wasn't what made Emma who she was and was more about her life and career, leading a normal life. What an amazing interviewer aswell you are Josh, so engaging and you had such amazing questions too!
Thank you so much for sharing this - it's incredible that the show made you feel represented, seen and hopefully heard too? If you want more Ambika talking about the show and representation checkout the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you love it and let me know what you think!
I cried my eyes out after binge watching the whole series over the weekend. I was obsessed with their chemistry but had a feeling it won’t end well, it was all getting too good to be true. Can’t remember the last time I cried so much. The acting was so raw and real. Thank you for this masterpiece ❤
9:36 this quote wow. She sums it up so perfectly why it’s important to see representation
Doesn't it? I will never forget that quote, it's so special! If you want to hear Ambika talking more about representation, One Day and more listen to the full interview with Ambika on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it, Josh
the fact she denied several times fits her character
I absolutely loved One Day and binged it two days. Absolutely wrecked me. But Emma and Dex’s chemistry was so wonderful!
I Love That She Opens Up About How In The Beginning She Knew This Book, Took Pride In This Book From a Very Early Age, And Even Goes on To Say So Openly, And Honestly, That She Pushed It Away Because She Could Not See Herself In This Role.
A Role She So Admired From The Start. How Sad Might I Add, And How Long Have Women, and Men Of Color and Prejudice Not Believed In Themselves, Because Of Such Unrealistic, and Quite Disgusting Beauty Standards Set In The Industry , And World We Live In. The World Where Every New Comings Of Youth, Get To Look Up To.
I'm Just So Incredibly Happy, And Proud, That She Gave Herself That 3rd Chance! Of Course, That The Casting Directors Saw Into Her As Well!Because Now, All Of The Little Girls and Boy's at Home Watching, Who Look Similar To The Beautiful Ambika, Now Don't Only Have To Dream, But Make It a Goal, and Reality!!
You Go Girl!
Sorry For The Long Writings...I am.....But She Deserved It!
I'm Just Very Proud of Her. In This Series, And Also What Is To Come From Her💗
Thank you for sharing all these amazing thoughts! You are so right on every single level, especially loved what you said about making dreams a reality which is what this interview is all about! If you want to hear more from Ambika make sure you listen to the full interview on my podcast Reign, here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 Hope you love it - there are so many amazing moments in the episode! Josh
Absolutely love her and Leo. Devastatingly beautifully acted and story telling.
The show should make everyone involved so incredibly proud. Loved watching how life changed heading from 80’s to 2000’s in a way that I didn’t consciously notice whilst actually living it. I cried buckets watching the show so thanks for that! Can’t wait to see what you do next.
It is a real emotional journey isn't it - glad you enjoyed the journey too! If you want more Ambika checkout the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you enjoy!

I watched the series 3 or 4 times, broke my heart a hundred. Still can’t move on, that series made me appreciate love in the moment, but also destroyed me into tiny pieces. I just can’t.
Actors were great!!!! Oh Dex and Em. Oh Leo and Ambika❤

What?
Lol
😂You're joking right
Excelente Ambika!! Es una historia que nos toca a todos... saludos!! Desde Mendoza, Argentina. Aquí es número 1 en Nexfix... desde 3 a 1.

Omo i never seen in my life like emma Dex love and relationship ❤
Lovely interview. I completely enjoyed watching the series and the ending made me so thankful to have the woman i have in my life (wife )even though, due to immigration issues, we have to be apart for longer than we expected... Though at the same time, the ending was that much more emotional for the same reasons.

Awesome Awesome Awesome
I cried watching episode 7
To be honest I had trouble getting thru the first episode! But....I kept going and loved it.
Everybody matters regardless of skin color or gender/sex. I look to anyone I can learn from and I never identify of that person's value for anything else.
That is such a wonderful and important outlook on life - we can learn from EVERYONE! If you want more Ambika talking about the show and representation checkout the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 hope you love it!

I think she's beautiful, and cute. Big brown eyes, great cheekbones, combined with her dry sense of humour is👌 I'm a straight woman, not a pervy guy 😂 Just saying it as I see it.
Très très bonne actrice une étoile montante dans le milieu cinématographique anglais
She made the impact because not typically like blond beautiful girl like usual.her character made more interesting and her voice accents is pleasent match to the character and show.
Agree. I don’t think I’d be so absorbed with yet another story of two white people struggling with love. This had nuance and depth and true beauty.
being a normal-looking brown girl is so relatable. not like Bollywood actresses.
Yeah bc Bollywood actresses live in India, of course there is a cultural difference
You're funny and beautiful much love love to see you more ❤
I loved this interview and I this Series, they were just both so fantastic! I cried my eyes out on the last 2 episodes😭. as someone who's currently going through grief , this was very grief triggering, But in a good way... it was better than therapy! I'd say they were about 3 years ahead of me in this timeline so it also mirrored my life during that era. I can't even speak to all the layers that it hit for me, It's like I relived my life during that twenty years. I too am watching it for a second time Because I can't get enough and also you see things that you missed the first time. definitely have to get the book. the whole thing just took me by surprise and what a lovely surprise!😭🙏❤️💘
Firstly, I am so sorry you are going through grief and I really hope you are looking after yourself? Sending love your way and I am glad the show and the interview has helped you in some way. Take care, and if you want to hear more from Ambika listen to the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0 - hope it keeps you company at this time. Josh x
@@reignwithjoshsmith7520thank you so much, i loved the show so much I'm watching round 2 as well :) I'm going to watch the full interview, thank you! Honestly, i think the unexpected ending gut punched me as it did everyone. Probably the intense grief reaction was very catharctic, helped me release...i could relate to Dexter's downward spiral, my heart went out to him... it's hard, this process🙏🙏🙏 thank you again❤️
She’s phenomenal in the ‘One Day’ series. How many times did she say “like” in this interview?
It happens to the best of us haha!
No because I’ve watched it twice in less than a week but I went into the first time totally blind, I had no idea about the book or movie ngl
After watching One Day with Ambika in the lead role and her co-star, I would not like to see the movie with other actors performing the role of Emma and Dexter.
Same. Annika is Emma to me.
I have never been so disappointed at the ending of a show ever. It was builing into a beautifull crescendo with the penultimate episode finally gettting them together and then in the last episode, she gets run over on her bike in the rain and dies? So deflating and disappointing. Last episode: finding out that she could never have children and breaking up, meeting up again to have a beer together, getting drunk and having sex. Next scene realizing that she was pregnant and cut to final scene with them back on Hampsted heath on a picnic blanket with their child, pan out to credits. What a beaufull ending that would have been. What were they thinking ending it this way?
This idea that 'I have to see myself on TV' is so reductive, and brings everything down to colour.
