Amrita Acharia is a Nepali-Ukrainian actress best known for her roles in the HBO series Game of Thrones and the popular Norwegian drama Acquitted. Born on December 24, 1987, in Kathmandu, Nepal, to a Nepali father and a Ukrainian mother, Acharya grew up in a multicultural environment that fostered her interest in acting and storytelling. Her family relocated frequently, first moving to Ukraine and later to England and Norway, giving Acharia fluency in multiple languages and a unique cultural perspective.
She has credited this diverse upbringing with shaping her worldview and making her adaptable, qualities that have helped her navigate an international acting career. Acharia initially trained in Norway and later attended the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts in London, where she honed her craft and developed a strong foundation in performance. Her early roles came in British television dramas, where she gained recognition for her nuanced performances.
Her big break arrived in 2011 when she was cast in the groundbreaking fantasy series Game of Thrones as Irri, a Dothraki handmaiden to Daenerys Targaryen. The role introduced her to a global audience and placed her in one of the most celebrated television franchises of the decade, establishing Acharia as a versatile actress capable of working in diverse genres.
