Suzanne Bernert in The Accidental Prime Minister
Many might recognise Suzanne Bernert as Queen Helena from the popular television show, Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat. But, thatâs not her only claim to fame or the only show she did. The German-born actor has spent almost two decades in Indian cinema and television.
Suzanne, born in Detmold in Germany, was fascinated with acting from quite a young age. She was 19, when she enrolled for an acting course at Heidelotte Dehl and took guidance from American producer Susan Batsan in Berlin. She also trained in western classical ballet. Her father is a retired customs officer and mother is jewellery designer, and she has a brother too.
