  • Hi.

  • BBC News, This is Priyanka.

  • It was something I was afraid of, something I wanted to attempt honestly.

  • And for me, it was very cathartic healing almost.

  • I've had such a crazy sort of life with multiple continents that are working that when I was home for six months, I had the ability to really, like, dig deep and think about what I was writing in the tone that I wanted and what was the hardest chapter for you to write?

  • Would you say my childhood?

  • Mostly because memories air a funny, funny thing.

  • You know, you don't remember things correctly, but when I was a kid and going to boarding school and, um, you know how that felt all of that?

  • Going back so far back into that was hardest for me.

  • It doesn't feel really I'm just a girl goes to work doing my job.

  • It's not an easy job, you know, being in the public eye, especially as a performing artist, is very hard, because it's difficult for people to bifurcate that there's a human being and this is an actor and they're acting.

  • And then there's a person and you kind of become fodder.

  • I'm very often and having done it for 20 years now, I've kind of made peace with that.

  • But it's it's not easy to Dio, you know, I'm just happy to be here still honestly, So the rest of it always seems like, you know, overwhelming to me.

  • I mean, a friendship is crucial.

  • You've got to be able to have to be able to spend time together and, like, actually hang out and like it.

  • I think that was the one thing that I really admired about my husband when I first got to know him was how excited he would get from my achievements or for things that I felt like I did well when I had a moment or, you know, he's such a amazing cheerleader right from the beginning.

  • And I love that our that our partnership is of equals, and that's something that we started out as.

  • And it's really wonderful to have found someone who thinks like that.

  • I've been here since November, and I've been in the lock down since November.

  • But the UK government allows for TV and film shoots, which is why we're here.

  • I just finished filming a movie and now I'm filming a TV show.

  • So the only thing I do is I go to set and I come back and I would sit and I come back.

  • And that's so unlike the London experience, because, I mean, it's a London, you know, go out every night.

  • You go to the shows and meet people and different foods, and now it's just deliver ruined me.
