Game of Thrones - Season 2 - Interview with Amrita Acharia

Born in Nepal (she’s Ukrainian-Nepalese forged), Amrita moved to Norway at a very young age and basically “learned Norwegian from scratch.” She was schooled at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts in London, and appeared in various British television series, such as Doctors and Casualty, before landing the role of Irri on Game of Thrones.

Fire And Blood: First of all … Hello, Amrita! Thanks for taking the time to speak to Winter Is Coming!

Amrita Acharia: It’s my pleasure, thanks for having me!

FaB: I’m gonna jump right into it, because I’m still in shock: When did you find out Irri was going to die this season?

AA: When I read my scripts a couple of months before filming.

FaB: It was probably my biggest disappointment in the season thus far. It seemed to me there were so many different directions they could have gone with Irri’s story, yet they chose this end. Were there ever any discussions about other ways for her to go?

AA: I’m sure there may have been many versions – I wasn’t personally involved in any of the discussions!

FaB: If nothing else she could have at least had a nice dramatic death scene. Sean Bean is famous for them.
