Who plays Dr Nikita Sharma in The Good Karma Hospital?
Two exciting new Good Karma doctors have join the beleaguered team in series four.
As well as charismatic Dr Samir, there’s also Dr Nikita Sharma.
Dr Nikita ‘Niki’ Sharma is described as “the epitome of a young, privileged Indian woman who is getting a taste of medicine at the sharp end”.
She is the daughter of a successful private surgeon.
Her dad believes Niki needs to get a dose of real life working in a community hospital under the tutelage of his good friend Dr Ram Nair (played by Darshan Jariwala).
Although confident Niki is not wholly convinced she needs Ram’s help – preferring to do things her own way!
Will the wannabe dermatologist find a home at The Good Karma Hospital – and accept Ram’s sage support?
What has Dr Nikita Sharma actress Rebecca Ablack been in before?
Actress Rebecca Ablack is a relative newcomer to our screens.
She first appeared on TV in 2009 when she played a blind girl on the Canadian comedy series The Jon Dore Television Show.
Rebecca went on to play Maddy in the TV film Hello, It’s Me, and popped up in Impulse, Let it Snow, Kim’s Convenience and Awake.
Her most notable role before joining The Good Karma Hospital was in the Netflix series Ginny & Georgia.
She played Padma in the first series about angsty 15-year-old Ginny, who often feels more mature than her 30-year-old mother Georgia.
Rebecca’s role as Dr Nikita Sharma in The Good Karma Hospital is her most significant and high profile role to date.
Talking about joining the cast, she said: “It’s been one of the craziest experiences of my life.
“Joining a show that has already had three wonderful series makes you worry and that perhaps you aren’t ready for it.
“But everybody was so welcoming and ready to grow and learn with me. It was just really wonderful.”
