The 26-year-old actress, who is of both English and Indian descent, is actually a Christian. Both of her parents are pastors at the Bridge Church, Woodford in Redbridge, United Kingdom which is described in their website as “a community of ordinary people who have found peace, joy, and purpose in an extraordinary God.”
It’s also no surprise that she can sing as she actually started her career as a singer and a musician. She began performing with the Bridge Church Youth Band, and was then discovered by singer Kelle Bryan. She said in an interview with Huffington Post back in March 2017, “I grew up singing in the church, actually. That’s kind of where I just the usual, I grew up on gospel music. I was singing from a young age.”
