The Mail revealed that Ambika originally turned down the role of Emma Morley after the star explained that she found it to be a “huge undertaking”, given that Emma was previously played by Anne Hathaway, 41, in the 2011 adaptation.
She said: “It was definitely originally written as white and previously played by a white actress. “I’m really excited to bring something new to the role, I hope young women who don’t see themselves on screen often see that it’s possible.
Ambika admitted that she wouldn’t have gotten the role 10 years ago because of her skin color, saying: “I’m very different to Anne Hathaway, so I never worried about that. Just the fact that I’m not white and I’m going to play Emma.” .
‘I don’t think that would have happened ten years ago. “That in itself is a way of modernizing the story.”
