Edward Sonnenblick

American chef Edward Sonnenblick, who moved to the city in 2008 to try his luck in Bollywood, has perennially played the evil British guy or a bossy expat. So, when the producers of EPIC channel approached him with Indipedia, a light and peppy series that explores the beliefs and logic behind Indian customs and rituals, he saw it as a pleasant departure. "I've worked in a lot of British period dramas, where I had to wear heavy wigs or uniforms in the sweltering heat. But, here was a show where I could talk about the country I love and what makes it so fascinating, without oppressing myself," he laughs.
