Amrita Acharia

Career Acharia played the role of Irri, a Dothraki servant of Daenerys Targaryen in the first two seasons of Game of Thrones. Her character died during the second season.

In 2016 Acharia appeared in the role as State Prosecutor in the Norwegian TV-series Frikjent.

From 2017 to 2022 she starred as Dr Ruby Walker in the ITV series The Good Karma Hospital. Acharia played an NHS junior doctor who, faced with frustration at work and issues in her personal life, responds to an advert to work at a public hospital in the southern Indian state of Kerala (although the show was actually filmed in Sri Lanka rather than India).

She is the lead in the British psychological thriller Welcome to Curiosity which is supposedly the world's first film to be entirely crowdfunded. The producers raised £200,000 through crowdfunding. It relates four interconnected stories based around a serial killer's escape from prison.

She is an ambassador for the charity ChoraChori, which works to support displaced and trafficked Nepalese children from India. She speaks Ukrainian, Russian, English, and Norwegian. She does not speak Nepali, but stated she is planning to learn it. Rita Short film Collectables Woman Short film
