For those of us in India who count ourselves as fans of The White Lotus, a delicious black comedy that follows the twisted private lives of wealthy Americans on holiday, the show comes home in its third season in more ways than one.
Firstly, it’s set a stone’s throw away from India on the sunny beaches of Thailand (Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, more specifically). Thanks to its visa-free policy, the Southeast Asian country is fast emerging as a top destination for Indian tourists, with 2024 closing out on 2.1 million Indian visitors. To its south stands Sri Lanka, home to the first brown character to be cast on The White Lotus, who I’m fairly certain Indians will be claiming as their own by the time season 3 finishes airing.
Shalini Peiris will never forget the moment she found out about her casting. The actor, born in the hill town of Kandy in Sri Lanka and currently based out of London, had just landed in the British capital after shooting in Serbia and turned on her phone to see a missed call from her manager. “I called back thinking he was going to tell me the audition hadn’t gone my way but instead he said he had good news. I was surrounded by people getting off the plane so I had to keep it together but as soon as I got off, I ran to the nearest bathroom, locked myself inside and screamed at the top of my lungs.”
For Peiris, earning a place among The White Lotus cast is a culmination of a journey that began nearly 15 years ago when, as a recent graduate in Anthropology working at the Asian Human Rights Commission in Hong Kong, she told her parents she wanted to be an actor. It’s a long-held dream that never fully left her despite her best efforts to file it away under the category of ‘unattainable childhood fantasies’.
