Following the moonlight, from Nepal's rural to Netflix, Amita Suman.

In Nepal, it is now nighttime. Vedihari, a little southern village near the Indian border, has seen the sun set entirely. This town has a population of less than 6,000 people. Air pollution is really low. There are no streetlights in the area. The machine is not audible. The murmur of crickets and stars filled the sky.

A little girl wakes up curiously looking for the light of the full moon. Leaving the house made of mud, she follows the blue smoke. As she moves forward, she falls to the ground as her feet get stuck in the rocks and mud. However, this is strictly prohibited for girls of this age.

She appreciates silence. He is pursued by fireflies. The moon catches the small child off guard. Amita Suman understood how to take the long view. "I remember being able to touch it if I could jump far enough." To put it another way, I felt like I was in the movie Avatar.

She recounted her childhood memories. Suman's life has turned into a sequence of amazing moments. Every experience is unlikely to happen again. For example, the first time he turned on the television. This is the time of year when his village has a festival. They needed a power supply to connect the line to the TV, which lit up when it was connected.

She compares the experience to Brie Larson's Oscar-winning film "Room." "I saw the movie, and it struck a deep chord with me. "It's not difficult to see the disconnect between the freedom you seek and the four walls that surround you," she explains. This movie is far darker than Amita's life.

Amita aspired to work in television and had to go across the Caspian Sea and several countries to do it. So, how did she make a name for herself there?

Suman's father was a high-ranking Nepal Police officer. 'From this, another universe was discovered,' she tells. He wished to offer a decent education for his children, particularly his daughters. At the time, the education system was predicated on the assumption that the country's resources should be directed toward men.

Amita did not understand these relationships as a child. Childhood is, by definition, childhood. She recalled going fishing during the wet season. She remembered being scared of the snake and the moon and fled. "I believe it's a testament to the wonderful mother I have." "I believe he is my God," she stated. Amita would not have traveled outside of the hamlet if her father had not sent her to a boarding school.

She was exposed to books and the sounds of the Western world there. He believed that there were only two countries in the world: Nepal and a western country. Amita arrived in England after a year and a half, in Brighton, UK. She's been subjected to culture shock. She attended to basic school and cooked in her backyard. Every time the headmaster entered the room in Nepal, he had to meet his eyes.Amita repeated this routine in Brighton for a few weeks until she discovered that nothing had changed. Everything you'd anticipate was there, including language study. This excursion, however, was not that bizarre for Amita.

She had been longing for something significant since she was born. This is why she chases after the moon and assures TV that she will be with him one day. I asked Amita how long she had lived in England. She dodged the question. "I think I discovered my ability to adapt to the environment, to completely immerse myself and enter it," she recalls, adding, "I never felt it was home." I could make any location my home.

Amita was not deterred from acting by film alone. She started taking acting classes for pleasure at first. I had no idea what I was doing. I was quite self-conscious. I didn't have any friends. "I only speak the language," she says.

In recent years, she has appeared as a doctor in a television series based on an accident. His main series is "Outpost." Along with this, the Netflix series 'Shadow and Bone' is now one of his most well-known works. It is based on Leigh Bardugo's works Shadow and Bone and The Six of Crows. Both of these shows are among the most popular on Netflix. More than 55 million people watched the first season.

Amita portrayed the part of knife-wielding investigator Inez in the series, one of the series' six protagonists. She has clearly found her home, albeit a fictional one. She had no idea she would make it this far. "In your mind, you never see colored people. "We began by listing some of the classic films, such as Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Star Wars, in which the main characters were not white," she explains.

Amita's favorite pastime is watching movies. Whether it's The Room, which describes her TV discovery, or The Whale, which depicts the human condition, she's used cinema to capture key moments in her life. Shadow and Bone has come to life as his dream. His scenes have been practiced in Hollywood. "I want to be on the big screen," she says of her ambition.
