Pooja was born in Kochi and raised on a mix of newspapers, pop culture, and too many questions. She studied Communicative English and Journalism before earning her Master’s in Journalism from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, and began her career interning at The Times of India and Channel I'M — where she later became a news anchor, scripting and presenting her own stories. Between deadlines, she’s worked across digital media platforms, covering politics, gender, pop culture, cinema, and everything in between. She has interviewed actors, creators, and changemakers, and occasionally edits her own video content — thanks to being certified in Photoshop and InDesign. In 2025, she joined the Asian Media Group in her first “official” newsroom gig, where she now covers entertainment, lifestyle, and the layered realities of South Asian identity. She believes storytelling should feel personal — even when it’s public — and likes to write not to please, but to provoke, question, and occasionally stir the pot.

Ambika Mod says Hollywood still typecasts her in ‘brown’ roles despite 'One Day' fame

Highlights:

  • Ambika Mod says she’s still asked to audition for stereotypical “brown” roles despite One Day success.
  • The British Indian actor compared her experience to her white co-star Leo Woodall’s diverse opportunities.
  • She has also addressed racism and misogyny in audience reactions to her work.
  • Mod’s recent projects include Black Bag and The Stolen Girl.

Ambika Mod, who rose to global attention with Netflix’s hit adaptation of One Day, says she continues to face the same narrow casting offers that she did early in her career. The British Indian actor revealed she is often approached for “brown” roles such as doctors, dentists, or rookie police officers, despite having proven her range in a widely praised lead performance.

“It’s just the industry and the way our society works,” Mod explained. “You either get asked to audition for brown roles, which are usually the doctor, the dentist, the policewoman.” She contrasted this with the career trajectory of her One Day co-star Leo Woodall, who has gone on to lead major projects including Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and Apple TV+ thriller Prime Target.
