British-Indian actress Banita Sandhu made her debut in the Bridgerton series, portraying Miss Malhotra, a potential diamond of the season. Her debut in the first episode has the fans intrigued, waiting to know who the actress will be paired up with in the competitive regency era's marriage market.



Bridgerton was first released back in 2020 as a fictional web series starring Phoebe Dynevor, Rege Jean Page, Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, and others. The series portrays the regency-era marriage season, featuring the Bridgerton siblings as the focus of the story. Along with a romantic plot, the series also showcases some subplots dealing with the struggles of women of the era, where finding a perfect suitor was a case of life and death.

The story of Bridgerton will pick up from the last season, where Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington and Lady Whistledown, will struggle to find love this courting season. Colin Bridgerton, played by Luke Newton, will be her romantic partner, who vows to never marry her in the first episode itself. Only time will tell how the two lovers end up together.

The first half of Bridgerton season 3 is available to stream on Netflix now. It consists of four episodes, and the subsequent episodes will be released next month on June 13.
