Parminder added: “Rachita is a really good, meaty character and to me, it’s all about finding this woman’s place in the world.
“You don’t often have an Asian female lead on TV – it’s starting to happen more, but having been in the business for so long, I feel like I’ve been saying the same thing for a long time.
“I can see the change with the likes of Bridgerton, but in DI Ray this is my generation of women, we’re in Birmingham and it’s so relatable – it’s nice to play.
“That was the main appeal for me that I’m not playing the best friend of somebody or a secondary character, it’s all about Rachita.”
DI Ray continues on ITV Tuesday, May 3 at 9pm.
