Simone Ashley flaunts a South Asian-British heritage. She is a Tamil girl (an ethnic group from South Asia; especially India and Sri Lanka) but was born in London, England.

Talking about her parents, they were a traditional Indian who worried very much about Simone’s future. They preferred for Simone to pursue an academic degree rather than an entertainment life. Because of this, Simone confessed that she felt “stifled” and made her want to “escape and do things” her own way. 

However, Simone’s father, despite having a good academic background, was also into arts and music. And this was where Simone’s love for acting originated from. She recalled that her dad would often play rock n roll tunes, or Bob Marley, and the TV always had epic movies on, like Kill Bill.

Now, that Simone is a successful actress, you might think that her parents are happy about her career choice. But that wasn’t the case! Simone shared that her parents still found it “quite scary and unsettling.”

Information about her sibling wasn’t shared.
