Fortunately, with Hollywood taking a step towards diversity, the attitude on a film set is democratic. She notes that over the years, the work culture has evolved. “I am treated the same as any white actress on every set. It helps that the projects I have worked on have more coloured people on set. For Spin, thousands of people auditioned. Here, a rigorous audition process is a standard.”
Juggling academics while maintaining an acting career hasn’t been easy. Knowing that her peers in LA are going through similar experiences is reassuring, but Vandanapu admits that her experience in her previous school was “complicated”. “Earlier, I went to a largely Asian school where everyone was competitive. They didn’t treat me well. Now, I am suddenly getting a lot of apologies.”
