EP 80 introduces Varada Sethu, the Kerala-born, British-Indian actress whose career spans film and television!

While she rises with roles in major franchises like Jurassic World & Disney’s Star Wars: Andor, Varada also stars as the lead in acclaimed director Jayaraj’s Pramadhavanam.

Varada candidly reflects on caring for her mental health as she navigates her life, sharing her early beginnings in Newcastle through to the National Youth Theatre GB, Bristol University, and her years of practicing Mohiniyattam, the South Indian classical dance form.

Embracing the power of talk therapy, Varada tells us about the highest highs following the lowest lows and the tips and tricks she’s learned along the way, including bacp.co.uk/ one of her recommended counseling resources. We’re truly appreciative of how valuable her shared courage, openness, and self-love is for our community. As Varada points out, it’s the journey, not the ending, that matters. 

Thank you Varada,
