Simone felt "very confident" filming intimate scenes for 'Bridgerton.'

"I was very confident,” Simone told the publication. "I felt very safe. I felt very protected. I was very excited to be doing these scenes where we can show a dark-skinned woman and her body and not be so taboo about it. Especially a dark-skinned Indian woman where maybe they're represented in a conservative way sometimes."

Simone also praised her co-star, Jonathan Bailey, for making her feel comfortable throughout filming.

"Johnny was an amazing co-partner to work with," Simone said. "We worked with an amazing intimacy coordinator who ensured that it was choreographed and it was a safe space where we could communicate and make sure that we knew exactly what was going to be happening on the day. And I think that's something that Johnny and I had throughout the whole series.”
