Simone holds a British nationality but her roots lead her to South Asian heritage, born to Sri Lankan parents Gynasekhaean and Latha.

Born in Tamil, the actress moved to Beaconsfield with her parents at an early age, where she gave fruition to her dream of becoming an actress.

Although her dream turning into reality is a huge shout-out to her parents, who encouraged her to pursue a career in entertainment.

Talking about her parents' support in her professional endeavor, the actress exclusively elaborated on a few questions in an interview that will get us a step closer to knowing her better.

Simone gained a lot of traction for her portrayal in the comedy-drama series Sex Education, which is considered her breakthrough role.

Coming from a family background where a career in entertainment is considered 'quite scary and unsettling,' Simone's ballsy decision to carry in with acting is quite exemplary.

Stretching in her inspiration to pursue acting, she said her inspiration was her father. She further elaborated that her father has always been passionate about films, music, and photography.

Growing up, she was highly influenced by her father's taste in music and films. While most of her family members in her household were academically accomplished with professions such as a doctor, engineer, accountant, she never had an interest in being a scholar whatsoever.

With an IMDb rating of 8.3, the series did extensively well, bagging a hefty amount of revenue, which probably added to Simone's yet unrevealed net worth.

Likewise, Simone will appear on screens with another one of her career breakthrough roles in the second season of Bridgerton, where she will be giving life to the character Kate.

Captivating a total of 82 million viewers, the Netflix hit Bridgerton season one was a massive success, earning impressive revenue. The second one will probably be another smash hit, judging from the previous success. But it is yet to see how viewers will receive the second season.
