Bustle Booth
And whyThis Is Going To Hurtis unlike any like other medical dramas youve seen before.
Ambika Mod knows a thing or two about timing.
She is a comedian, after all.
But right time, right place is something of a running theme in her career thus far.
(That and alotof hard work, that is.)
Starting in comedy was hard.
Really, really hard, she emphasises.
And then lockdown made it even harder.
Until the universe stepped in.
This sounds really wanky, but I feel like the universe brought it to me, she laughs.
Me and Ben had a crash course in Obs & Gynae.
Were both pretty confident we could do a C-Section if we needed to, she jokes.
Its really gritty; warts and all.
But Shruti means so much more to Mod, too.
Beyond the BBC drama, Mod is looking forward to ticking things off her comedy bucket list.
