From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sarita Choudhury (birth name: Sarita Catherine Louise Choudhury)(born August 18, 1966 in London, England) is a British-born actress of Indian descent best known for her roles in the Mira Nair-directed feature films Mississippi Masala (1992), The Perez Family (1995) and Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love (1996).
After her debut film Mississippi Masala became an art house hit, Sarita Choudhury acted as a Pakistani country-western singer in Wild West, a Chilean maid in Bille August's adaptation of The House of the Spirits, and a lesbian mother in Fresh Kill.
By the late 1990s, Choudhury added to her repertoire with supporting roles in the glossy Hitchcock remake, A Perfect Murder and the John Cassavetes retread Gloria. She also played a lesbian virgin in Spike Lee's She Hate Me and acted as Anna Ran in Lady in the Water, a 2006 thriller/fantasy film written, produced, and directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
