Richa Moorjani, who plays Kamala in the series, has told Grazia magazine, 'I think so many women of colour like myself (and Kamala) doubt ourselves and are afraid to take up space sometimes because of the messages we've received throughout our lives about not coming across as 'difficult'. But once we are able to harness our inner power, we could rule the world if we wanted to.'
